The NSW Points of Interest (POI) web service allows users to search for and identify the location of features that people may want to see on a map, know about or visit. POI features are derived from features maintained within multiple themes of the NSW Foundation Data Framework (FSDF).

The features included in the NSW POI web service are: community, education, medical, recreation, transportation, utility, hydrography, physiography and place.

Community features include ambulance stations, art galleries, cemeteries, convents/monasteries, co-operatives, court houses, crematoriums, embassies, fire stations, gaols, graves, homesteads, libraries, lighthouses, local government chambers, museums, observatories, places of worship, police stations, post offices, nursing homes, retirement villages, rural fire stations, SES facilities, shopping centres, and tourist information centres.

Education features include combined primary-high schools, high schools, preschools, primary schools, research stations, special schools, TAFE colleges, and universities.

Medical features include general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, children’s hospitals, integrated health services, multi purpose services and community medical centres.

Recreation features include athletics tracks, BMX tracks, camping grounds, caravan parks, clubs, cycling tracks, dog tracks, golf courses, historic sites, lookouts, monuments, motor racing tracks, observation towers, outdoor theatres, parks, picnic areas, racecourses, ship wrecks, showgrounds, sports centres, sports courts, sports fields, swimming pools, target ranges, tourist attractions, training tracks, trotting tracks and zoos .

Transportation features include airports, boat ramps, named cable cars, marinas, railway stations, slipways and transport interchanges.

Utility features include filtration plants, fuel driven power stations, gas facilities, geothermal power stations, hydro power stations, rubbish depots, sewage works, solar power stations, transmission stations and wind power stations.

Physiography and Hydrography include physiography: caves, cliffs, gaps / passes / saddles, headlands, mountains hills / peaks, peninsulas / spits, or plateaus / tablelands. Hydrography: named bays / inlets / basins, beaches, bores, breakwaters, dam walls, islands, locks, manmade water bodies, natural water bodies, reaches / river bends, reefs, rock awash, sandbars / shoals, springs, swamps and water falls.

Place Features include cities, towns, suburbs, localities, regions and villages.

This web service allows users to easily integrate NSW POI into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications. When used in conjunction with maps and atlases, it can be a very powerful tool. The POI feature types are maintained by Spatial Services.

Access APINSW Features of Interest Category - Health Facilities Please Note WGS 84 = GDA94 service This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 …Show full description Access APINSW Features of Interest Category - Health Facilities Please Note WGS 84 = GDA94 service This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionally. The NSW Features of Interest Category – Health Services is part of the Building Complex feature class and is represented as a community facility.Features that make up the NSW Features of interest -Health Category service include:Ambulance - An ambulance station is a structure or other area set aside for storage of ambulance vehicles and medical equipment. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of Interest Category Database.Children’s Hospital - A hospital specifically for the care of children.General Hospital - An institution in which the sick or injured persons are given medical or surgical treatment.Psychiatric Hospital - A hospital for the care and treatment of patients affected with acute or chronic mental illness.These point feature datasets are part of the Features of Interest Category data and all the Health-related data centroids are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.These features do not fit within one of the ten foundation spatial data themes and are therefore classified as a category. They have historically been captured by Spatial Services as part of the NSW topographic mapping program and therefore warrant inclusion. Metadata Type Esri Feature Service Update Frequency As required Contact Details Contact us via the Spatial Services Customer Hub Relationship to Themes and Datasets Features of Interest Category of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Accuracy The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from the NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water and land cover. 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.
