This collection contains data used in the 2017 pilot of an Australia-wide Open Data survey conducted by the Environmental Informatics group in CSIRO L&W. It contains list of open data collections and records (government and research), and files with lists of web endpoints queried for its size, format and date. The data is then able to be used with a companion software package which performs the analytics and visualisation for the pilot survey.

The majority of open data collections and records used in this survey comes from sources listed in the Credit field, which were indexed in the CSIRO Knowledge Network (http://kn.csiro.au). Data from THREDDS data service sources (NCI, TPAC, AODN, CSIRO TDS) were not indexed by the CSIRO Knowledge Network but is included as part of this pilot survey representing significant parts of the open research data sector.

Files contained in this repository summarise various perspectives of the survey and uses Tab-separated values (TSV) format and JSON format. These formats were chosen for ease of use in the software package for analysis and visualisation. The software used will be published as a separate entry (DOI to be added soon).

Geoscape G-NAF is the geocoded address database for Australian businesses and governments. It’s the trusted source of geocoded address data for Australia with over 50 million contributed addresses distilled into 15.4 million G-NAF addresses. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using independently examined and validated government data.

From 22 August 2022, Geoscape Australia is making G-NAF available in an additional simplified table format. G-NAF Core makes accessing geocoded addresses easier by utilising less technical effort.

G-NAF Core will be updated on a quarterly basis along with G-NAF.

Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available here.

With more than 15 million Australian physical address record, G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals.

Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Previous versions are available here

Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.

Changes in the May 2025 release

• Nationally, the May 2025 update of G-NAF shows an overall increase of 47,194 addresses (0.30%). The total number of addresses in G-NAF now stands at 15,753,927 of which 14,909,770 or 94.64% are principal.

• At some locations, there are unit-numbered addresses that appear to be duplicate addresses. Geoscape is working to identify these locations and include these addresses as separate addresses in G-NAF. To facilitate this process, some secondary addresses have had the word RETAIL added to their building names. In the first instance, this process is being progressively rolled out to identified locations, but it is expected that the requirement for this will become ongoing.

• There is one new locality in G-NAF: Keswick Island, QLD.

• The source data used for generating G-NAF STREET_LOCALITY_POINT data in New South Wales has an updated datum and changed from GDA94 to GDA2020. This has resulted in updates to the STREET_LOCALITY_POINT geometry for approximately 91,000 records, however, more than 95% of these have moved less than a metre.

• Geoscape has moved product descriptions, guides and reports online to https://docs.geoscape.com.au.

Further information on G-NAF, including FAQs on the data, is available here or through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on G-NAF, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Additional information: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia.

What to Expect When You Download G-NAF

G-NAF is a complex and large dataset (approximately 5GB unpacked), consisting of multiple tables that will need to be joined prior to use. The dataset is primarily designed for application developers and large-scale spatial integration. Users are advised to read the technical documentation, including product change notices and the individual product descriptions before downloading and using the product. A quick reference guide on unpacking the G-NAF is also available.

This dataset has been developed by the Australian Government as an authoritative source of indigenous location names across Australia. It is sponsored by the Spatial Policy Branch within the Department of Communications and managed solely by the Department of Human Services.

The dataset is designed to support the accurate positioning, consistent reporting, and effective delivery of Australian Government programs and services to indigenous locations.

The dataset contains Preferred and Alternate names for indigenous locations where Australian Government programs and services have been, are being, or may be provided. The Preferred name will always default to a State or Territory jurisdiction's gazetted name so the term 'preferred' does not infer that this is the locally known name for the location. Similarly, locational details are aligned, where possible, with those published in State and Territory registers.

This dataset is NOT a complete listing of all locations at which indigenous people reside. Town and city names are not included in the dataset. The dataset contains names that represent indigenous communities, outstations, defined indigenous areas within a town or city or locations where services have been provided.

This dataset depicts land use across South Australia according to the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification Version 8 aggregated from surveys in 2008, 2014 and 2016. It forms part of the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP) land use mapping. The dataset is a combination of land use data mapped over recent years. The data were derived from an initial desktop interpretation of aerial imagery followed by an on-ground field survey. This dataset will be updated when any new land use mapping is undertaken in a part of SA.

2024-2025 DSDI Open Data Strategy

The Open Data 500 Australia is part of the Australian Government's Open Data initiative, and is the first comprehensive study of Australian organisations that use open government data to generate new business, develop new products and services or create social value. The Minister for Communications, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull MP, launched the Open Data 500 on 10 March 2015. This dataset includes responses received as of 6 July 2015.

The Open Data Hub is the portal to Transport for NSW’s data and information. It also acts as a showcase for innovation from the use of transport data. For app developers, it provides information about data, APIs and a community forum.

Open data strategy for the Department of Transport and Main Roads, listing data collected by the department, timetables for its release and standards for data management.

The South Australian Land Cover Layers 1987- 2015 spatial land cover datasets for 6 time periods (1987-1990, 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2005, 2005-2010 and 2010-2015). This dataset can be used to inform spatial and temporal (5 year) summaries of the described land cover types for SA. The capture method and general nature of the classes are most useful for landscape and regional scale assessment.

Geographic Areas declared designated Survey Areas by the Surveyor General pursuant to Section 49 (1) (b) of the Survey Act 1992 - to support the creation of a coordinated cadastre and the integrity of the cadastre.

This dataset includes over 2000 images of shipwrecks and shipwreck relics which provides a unique insight into the State's maritime history. In addition to the images the dataset includes an extract from the South Australian Register of Historic Shipwrecks. The database includes all known shipwrecks located in South Australian and Australian waters adjacent to South Australia. It includes information pertaining to Historic Shipwreck and Historic Relics as described under the (Commonwealth) Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 and the (South Australian) Historic Shipwrecks Act 1981. The dataset includes shipwrecks that have not yet been declared under either of these Acts. Filtering may take place to restrict the location of sensitive shipwrecks where condition assessments are pending. The Maritime Register (XML) contains the image URL which can be matched to the image name. The register also includes the shipwreck name, historical background, description of the relic, location of the shipwreck and other details. See also: https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/shipwrecks
