The NSW Imagery web service provides access to a repository of the Spatial Services (DCS) maintained standard imagery covering NSW, plus additional sourced imagery. It depicts an imagery map of NSW showing a selection of LANDSAT® satellite imagery, standard 50cm orthorectified imageries, High resolution 10cm Town Imageries. It also contains high resolution imageries within multiple areas of NSW within DFSI, Spatial Services maintained projects and captured by AAM, VEKTA and Jacobs (previously SKM). The image web service is updated periodically when new imageries are available. The imageries are shown progressively from scales larger than 1:150,000 higher resolution imagery overlays lower resolution imagery and most recent imagery overlays older imagery within each resolution. The characteristics of each image such as accuracy, resolution, viewing scale, image format etc varies by sensor, location, capture methodology, source and processing. For specific information about the metadata for the imagery used, please refer to the individual data series within the NSW Data Catalogue. As a consequence of the variety of source data, each map displayed by the user within this map service may have a number of copyright permissions. It is emphasised that the user should check the use constraints for each image data series.

The NSW Imagery web service provides spatial imagery covering the extent of NSW progressively from scales larger than 1:150,000 higher resolution imagery overlays lower resolution imagery and most recent imagery overlays older imagery within each resolution.

This product has been produced to identify visible land cover features and terrain to support Spatial Services along with local and state government programs, including Emergency Services. This product is used on a whole of government basis as a visible record of the landscape at a given point in time.

This web service allows users to easily integrate the Imagery coverage for NSW into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications.

Imagery provides an analytical source and contextual background for decision making and supports multiple applications including:

• mapping
• emergency services
• sustainable human and land use development
• geosciences
• natural resource management

The NSW Imagery web service provides access to accurate, authoritative and timely aerial imagery of NSW.

This service ensures users are able to consume spatial imagery without the requirement of hosting the imagery files on their own servers. The Imagery cache is maintained by Spatial Services and is an output of Spatial Services’ imagery collection and maintenance program.

The NSW SPOT6/7 imagery product is a state-wide satellite imagery product provided by Geoimage Pty Ltd for NSW Government. The images were captured September 2022 through to March 2023. The imagery scenes used to create the NSW mosaic includes Lord Howe Island. This imagery data set has been acquired through GeoImages Pty Ltd and Airbus Defence and Space. SPOT imagery products offer high resolution over broad areas using the SPOT 6/7 satellites. A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m.

Historical Imagery 2013

Current and historic imagery form an important part of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework and provide a valuable resource which is widely accessed by government and the broader community on a daily basis. As the completeness of this data base continues, its market demand also increases across a broad range of applications.

Spatial Services aerial imagery was originally captured using a variety of cameras including the Wild RC-5, RC-10 and Leica RC-30 cameras with a variety of lenses with focal lengths of 88mm, 153mm and 304mm. Images were captured in monochrome or colour during this period at a range of scales. Capture scales ranged from 1:5 000 to 1:80 000.

The Historical Air Photo Enhancement program (HAPE) not only allows the capability to search, discover and use source imagery, but also provides the delivery and viewing of enhanced historic rectified imagery mosaics. This new development means the community at large can now access and utilise spatially accurate historic imagery:

1. Through the Historical Imagery Viewer

2. Directly in a wide range for GIS Mapping applications as a Web map Tile Service (WMTS). See below for instructions

Rocky reef polygons were delineated from bathymetry data for the NSW seabed. Bathymetry data was sourced from marine lidar data, multibeam echosounder data and aerial imagery. Reef polygons were extracted from the seabed landforms polygons for the statewide marine lidar and multibeam surveys for Wollongong and Shellharbour (See below for associated SEED records). For the remaining areas, reef polygons were sourced from the ‘NSW subtidal marine habitat layer’ on SEED which included reef polygons manually digitised from multibeam surveys acquired from 2005-2017.

This map and report (cited below) present the results of research on the rate of change of native woody vegetation in the Central New South Wales wheatbelt. The study was carried out over three years and analysed vegetation change between the 1980s and 2000. The project tested methods to map changes in native woody vegetation using direct visual inspection of readily available Landsat TM satellite imagery. NPWS mapping of native woody vegetation types within the wheatbelt provided the 1980s baseline information for the study. Clearing was identified on the satellite images and digitised. The resulting clearing maps were used to produce updated maps of remaining native woody vegetation for each monitoring period. Systematic validation of the mapping was done by comparison with specially flown, fine-scale aerial photography. Validation results showed that the mapping consistently and accurately distinguished between clearing and areas of no-change with typical accuracy rates of approximately 95%.

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) Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94), Australian Height Datum (AHD) Spatial Reference System    (web service) EPSG 4326: WGS 84 Geographic 2D WGS 84 Equivalent ToGDA94 Spatial Extent Full State Standards and Specifications AS/NZS ISO 19115 - ANZLIC Metadata Profile Version 1.1AS/NZS ISO 19131:2008 Geographic Information - Data product specificationsOGC compliant Web Map Services (WMS) and Web Feature Services (WFS) Metadata for the relevant Spatial Services datasets complies with AS/NZS ISO 19115-2, ANZLIC Metadata Profile v1.1 and ISO 19139 Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM): Guidelines for Digital Elevation Data DCS Spatial Services Elevation Data Products Specification and Description (LiDAR) DCS Spatial Services Elevation Data Products Specification and Description (Airborne Photogrammetry)Distributors Service Delivery, DCS Spatial Services 346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795Dataset Producers and Contributors Administrative Spatial Programs, DCS Spatial Services 346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795
