Access APIMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent Title3D Heights of Building SceneContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionContains the EPI "Height of Building" layer, extruded to 3D based on the Max Building Height. (Field used Max_B_H)This "Height of Building" spatial dataset identifies the maximum height of a building that is permitted on land as designated by the relevant NSW environmental planning instrument (EPI) under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The specific EPI which defines the planning requirement is described in the attribute field LEP_Name. The EPI can be viewed on the NSW legislation website: www.legislation.nsw.gov.au.

The data production usually occurs in conjunction with the development of the Local Enviornmental Plan it is connected to. Original data inputs are produced by Local Goverment or the Department according to map and data standards developed by the Department and published externally via the website. These data inputs are checked by data and cartographic staff as well as planning staff internally against the map and data standards as well as for accurate content. Once the planning instrument is notified, the input data will be incorporated into the relevant LEP datasets. The quality management processes involved in the data production to this point are routinely screened by internal and external auditors for certification under ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems. At this point the various datasets are then combined into a new normalised data schema to suit the requirements of the online Planning Viewer. This occurs via various automated ETL processes. Although every care is taken in ETL processes to maintain accuracy sometimes differences between inputs and final normalised data can occur.Data ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityEnvironmental Planning Instrument - Height of Buildings (HOB) | Dataset | SEEDData BrokerNSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructuredata.broker@environment.nsw.gov.auTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationEnvironmental Planning Instrument - Height of Buildings (HOB) | Dataset | SEEDData BrokerNSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructuredata.broker@environment.nsw.gov.auData CustodianData BrokerNSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructuredata.broker@environment.nsw.gov.auPoint of ContactData BrokerNSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructuredata.broker@environment.nsw.gov.auData AggregatorData BrokerNSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructuredata.broker@environment.nsw.gov.auData DistributorSEED.nsw.gov.auEnvironmental Planning Instrument - Height of Buildings (HOB) | Dataset | SEEDAdditional Supporting InformationEnvironmental Planning Instrument - Height of Buildings (HOB) | Dataset | SEEDEnvironmental Planning Instrument - Height of Buildings (HOB) | Data Quality Statement | SEEDTRIM Number
