The Survey Control Information Management System (SCIMS) is a database that contains all of the coordinates, heights and related information for NSW survey marks that form the official State Survey Control Network. The network is represented physically by over 250,000 survey marks positioned at varying densities across NSW. Each survey mark is assigned a horizontal and vertical spatial position and a class and order, according to accuracy, monument and other factors. Detailed metadata information is also recorded. SCIMS data is supplied to the surveying and spatial industries through the SCIMS online internet product.

NSW Positioning Theme Survey Mark GDA94

Note: GDA94 coordinates for NSW survey marks are no longer maintained. This data has been superseded by NSW Positioning Theme Survey Mark GDA2020 multiCRS or NSW Positioning Theme - Survey Mark GDA2020.

Please Note:
WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94
This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments.
A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.
In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new multiCRS functionally.

Since its inception in 1966 the Geographical Names Board has recorded information in relation to NSW geographical names within in the GNR. There are currently over eighty thousand place names recorded in the GNR. On average, 600 new place names are assigned and added to this database every year. Every record in this database has the provision for over 30 attributes ranging from spatial location information to cultural information on history, meaning and origin. The GNR also holds official information such as the names status and feature type and temporal information such as gazettal date of the name. The GNR is used to identify and record the official and/or commonly used names for the location of places and feature the gazetted or historical information associated with those names. Place names are integral to: • Economic, social and environment analysis • Providing a link/index function to other spatial and aspatial data• Emergency response• Cultural identity and heritage• Mapping and navigation. More broadly, correct use of accurate place name can provide benefits for communities and organisations engaged in: • Trade and commerce• Population censuses and national statistics• Property rights and cadastre• Urban and regional planning• Environmental management• Natural disaster preparedness, relief, and aid• Security strategy and peacekeeping operations• Search and rescue operations• Map and atlas production• Automatic navigation• Tourism• Communications, including postal and news services. The source of official place names for NSW, containing authoritative references and information pertaining to the history, origin and meaning of place names and provides information to the Gazetteer of Australia. To access the Geographical Names Board data: Geographical Names Board NSW Place and Road Naming Proposal System available now. The system is a mechanism for proposing place and road names in NSW. It supports the application of place and road naming processes in a collaborative environment accessed by naming authorities, local government and the Geographical Names Board (GNB).

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.

These records are Survey Adjustment check sheets relating to the amendment of existing survey reports. Survey Adjustment check sheets include source ID, location name, adjustment diagrams, and comments. The check sheet also includes references as to whether the updated surveying details have been entered into SCIMS [Survey Control Information Management System].

Recorded plans show control survey marks with survey observations/measurements (bearings and distance) for use in subsequent surveys and the creation of accurate geodetic spatial data. Recorded plans include mark baselines and survey marks for all types of surveys in the State. These include roads, mining, railway, council and departmental surveys. Plans are lodged from various Government authorities such as Roads and Traffic Authority, Department of Minerals and Energy. Geodetic spatial data is now lodged electronically and maintained in the Survey Control Information Management System (SCIMS). This series is composed of plans and reports,

NSW Positioning Theme Survey Mark GDA2020 multiCRS

MultiCRS service - supporting requests in multiple Coordinate Reference Systems - Information Sheet

A new series of ‘multiCRS’ web services have been published to support GDA2020. These new ‘multiCRS’ services:

· have a spatial reference of GDA2020

· support alignment with GDA2020, GDA94 or [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] GIS environments,
using built-in server-side transformations:

o GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > GDA2020

o GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020

o GDA2020 < NULL > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020

Note: ESRI software will automatically align by transforming from the sourceSpatialReference (GDA94).
Other software may need to set client-side transformations from the SpatialReference (GDA2020).
