NSW Basemap Terrain

Metadata   Content Title NSW Basemap TerrainContent Type Web MapDescription The NSW Basemap Terrain theme features roads and streets, hydrology and displays shaded relief to emphasise landform using contours and elevation features.Initial Publication Date 14/07/2022Data Currency 15/05/2024Data Update Frequency Other Content Source OtherFile Type Map Feature Service Attribution  Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets  Accuracy This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.Spatial Reference System (dataset) GDA94 Spatial Reference System (web service) EPSG:4326 WGS84 Equivalent To GDA94 Spatial Extent  Content Lineage  Data Classification UnclassifiedData Access Policy OpenData Quality  Terms and Conditions Creative CommonsStandard and Specification  Data Custodian Spatial Services | NSW Department of Customer ServicePoint of Contact DCS Spatial Services Customer HubData Aggregator DCS Spatial ServicesData Distributor DCS Spatial ServicesAdditional Supporting Information NSW Basemaps are vector tile, web accessible maps that enable faster loading times for users and high-resolution display at all zoom levels. Vector tile layers can adapt to the resolution of a particular display device and can be restyled for multiple uses. The NSW Basemap Terrain theme features roads and streets, hydrology and displays shaded relief to emphasise landform using contours and elevation features. Elevation points are labelled at zoomed scale 2 km or less. The terrain theme provides the ideal basemap to environmental data, such as protected areas or ecosystems. Web service uses/ fitness for purpose:This web map service allows users to easily integrate the NSW Basemap into spatial platforms and applications and provides a combined view of NSW Foundation Spatial Data. It is Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant and suitable for consumption by common GIS platforms. The web map is regularly updated and will show new information captured or sourced by DCS Spatial Services. All datasets used in this service are authoritative foundational spatial data.Basemap legendTRIM Number
