Supporting the community to strengthen social cohesion and belonging by collecting, protecting and celebrating NSW's stories, artefacts, content, arts, culture and heritage experiences.

NSW is home to the oldest and most distinctive cultural institutions in the country. Visitation rates to our cultural institutions have surged past our pre-COVID records, with the Australian Museum recording the highest visitation rate in its almost 200-year history and more than 2 million visitors to the new expanded Art Gallery of NSW campus Naala Badu and Naala Nura. Expanding access to online engagement has been hugely significant too, with more than 21 million views globally of Sydney Opera House videos (in addition to its 10 million visitors to the site each year) and 4.6 million sessions on the State Library's website. Investment in the Powerhouse (MAAS) sites will support sharing its exhibitions with more people across NSW. The Museums of History NSW experienced growing visitation across their sites, which bring history to life through diverse voices and viewpoints.

Note on the data:

The data provided here reflects a reproduction of onsite visitation figures that have been published in the respective cultural institutions annual report. The data does not reflect offsite engagement activities (e.g. offsite public programs and touring activity). It also relates only to the primary site of visitation, for example, The State Library of NSW helps administer all public libraries in NSW (under the Library Act 1939) and visitation to these local libraries is not included in the above State Library visitation figure. In 2023-24, there were over 26 million visits to NSW public libraries. In that year, $40.89m of the State Library’s budget was provided for public library funding to local councils.

Each individual annual report includes supporting information such as closures or attendance limitations due to revitalisation, refurbishment, COVID measures, and COVID recovery measures such as free admission.

Each cultural institution has its own methodology and categorisation of onsite visitation, and attendance rates are not directly comparable.

Data gaps: For 2018-19 only, the State Library published a combined online and onsite visitation figure. The data for the State Library for this year included above is on-site visitation only, which was sources directly from the State Library (i.e. not their annual report). The Museums of History NSW was created in 2022, incorporating stewardship responsibilities for the State Archives and for significant museums, houses and collections. Previous data from the annual reports of the State Archives and Records Authority of NSW (SARA) (reading room and onsite programming) and Sydney Living Museums (total onsite visitation including grounds) from 2018-19 to 2021-22 have been included for comparison before 2022.

The Points of Interest (POI) web service provides the identification and location of a feature, service or activity that people may want to see, know about or visit. POI features for this service are primarily derived from features maintained within the Digital Topographic Database (DTDB). The POI feature class is maintained programmatically (automated) by sourcing spatial and aspatial attributes from other feature classes in the DTDB that contain POI features. The midpoint of a line or polygon features is used to define the POI. Points of Interest include features related to Community, Education, Recreation, Transportation, Utility, or Hydrography, Physiography and Place, and defined as a place with a prescribed name. The attribute information for an individual dataset may have been thinned or modifed to cater for the service. The service is available in a cached environment only. This dataset is compliant with the NSW FSDF and its specifications. For details information for each individual dataset contained in this web services.

Every day 1.3 million people live, work, study, do business, shop and go out in our local area. All of these people have an interest in the future of Sydney and can have their say on this plan.Creating places for people to meet benefits business and community life. While 2050 may seem a long time away, we need to plan now if we are to meet the ongoing and future needs of our communities.

This dataset contains the location of places that have historical associations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Sydney. Each place is connected to a historical theme that expresses an aspect of cultural life in Sydney. Together these themes provide a layered narrative of the lived experience of Sydney’s Aboriginal people.While all these places have historical significance, many have changed or disappeared. Others are private buildings or educational facilities that are not suitable to visit.View this dataset on the Barani Sydney's Aboriginal History map.

The Transport Performance and Analytics (TPA) produces travel forecasts using the Strategic Travel Model (STM). This model is a world class tool that projects travel patterns in the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area under different land use, transport and pricing scenarios. It can be used to test alternative settlement, employment and transport policies, to identify likely future capacity constraints, or to determine potential usage levels of proposed new transport infrastructure or services.

The STM is built largely in the EMME transport modelling software. It is comprised of a series of models and processes that attempt to replicate, in a simplified manner, people’s travel choices and behaviour under a given scenario. The STM combines our understanding of travel behaviour with likely population and employment size and distribution, and likely road and public transport networks and services to estimate future travel under different strategic land use and transport scenarios.

The STM produces travel forecasts by origin (2,690) and destination (2,690) STM zones for:

• The Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area which includes the Sydney Statistical Division, Newcastle Statistical Subdivision and Illawarra Statistical Division.

• 5 yearly intervals from the latest Census year up to a 35-year horizon

• 9 travel modes: Car driver, Car passenger, Rail, Bus, Light rail, Ferry, Bike, Walk and Taxi

• 7 purposes: Work, Business, Primary/Secondary/Tertiary education, Shopping, Other

• 24 hour, average workday (Monday to Friday excluding public holidays)

• am/pm peak, interpeak and evening travel

There are two files: - nsw_property_data.csv - Property data in NSW from 2001 - 3rd of April 2023 - nsw_property_archived_data.csv - Property data in NSW from 1990 - 2000

Objective - Property data is difficult to come by these days. Luckily in New South Wales - Australia, the NSW State Government has provided public dataset of the transactional property sales data (See link below) - The objective is to create a clean / comprehensive dataset with historical information of the property information in NSW Australia, based on the raw data provided by the government - Please reach out to me to provide any feedbacks / improvements and I will try my best to update the dataset as soon as possible

Disclaimer - This is a personal, non-profit project that is intended for the public to access datasets, which can potentially help people make decisions when analysing on the property market.

This dataset contains Official Train and Metro Utilisation figures. Opal tap-on/tap-off data (representing an individual entering & exiting a station), is allocated to a line and aggregated to a monthly figure for the estimated number of trips. Starting July 1, 2024, the methodology for calculating trip numbers for individual lines and operators will change to more accurately reflect the services our passengers use within the transport network. This new approach will apply to trains, metros, light rail, and ferries, and will soon be extended to buses. Aggregations between line, agency, and mode levels will no longer be valid, as a passenger may use multiple lines on a single trip. Trip numbers at the line, operator, or mode level should be used as reported, without further combinations. The dataset includes reports based on both the new and old methodologies, with a transition to the new method taking place over the coming months. As a result of this change, caution should be exercised when analysing longer trends that utilise both datasets. More information on NRT ROAM can be accessed here Notes: (1) The timetable change on 26 November 2017 results in new line definitions and patronage splits by line for the period 26-30 November and all subsequent months. (2) A more accurate methodology for assigning trips to train line and operator has been applied to patronage from July 2017 onwards resulting in changes a revision to July – November 2017 patronage previously reported. Caution School Student travel using concessional Opal cards is included. However this may be underrepresented, due to inconsistent tap-on/tap-off behaviour by students Magnetic Stripe Ticketing (MST – paper tickets) data was also available in July 2016. MST patronage data for July is available here Opal data may be subject to minor revision for the two months following upload Data is static at a point in time, and may not match other reports that are real time All non-Opal travel is excluded, for example transport concession entitlement cards, integrated ticketing for major events, and fare non-compliance An Opal Trip is defined as a tap-on/tap-off pair (including where only a single tap-on or tap-off is recorded) The timetable change on 26 November 2017 results in new line definitions with new patronage splits. This change makes patronage comparisons by line inconsistent before and after this date. The splits by line will be continually updated each month to adjust for changes in commuter behaviour in response to the change in timetable. Historical data may change as new Opal data and patronage line splits becomes available for reporting. Station Link, a high frequency bus service temporarily replaces train services for the closure of Macquarie University, Macquarie Park and North Ryde train stations while upgrading to Sydney Metro Northwest standards. Effective from 30th September 2018 for approximately 7 months. Sydney Metro North West commenced operations May 2019. Sydney Metro North West & Bankstown Line, Chatswood to Sydenham commenced operations 19 August 2024.

Transport Performance and Analytics (TPA) provides projections of workforce at the small area (Travel Zone or TZ) level for the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area (GMA).

The GMA includes the Sydney Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA), the Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven SA4, Illawarra SA4, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie SA4, and Lower Hunter, Port Stephens, and Maitland SA3s, as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). TPA workforce projections are five-yearly, from 2011 to 2056 and relate to usual residents of the GMA aged 15 years and over who are employed. They are estimates of employed people based on where they reside. TPA also produces employment projections based on the workplace or job location. They refer to persons aged 15 years and over, working in the GMA regardless of their place of usual residence. The majority of the persons employed in the GMA also reside in the GMA.

Factors considered in the estimation of workforce projections include: population by age and gender; participation rates; unemployment rates; historical labour force data; past trends of employment in each industry and the forecasts of industry growth or decline in each region.
