Railway Corridor Land Parcels in New South Wales, GDA2020

New South Wales land parcel data representing railway corridor boundaries. The dataset is a polygon layer from the state's Foundational Spatial Data Framework, updated to the GDA2020 coordinate system. Spatial Services maintains the data, which is updated daily and sourced from subdivision plans, Crown Lands, and other government agencies.

Use Cases
