The Survey Control Information Management System (SCIMS) is a database that contains the coordinates, heights and related attributes for Permanent Survey Marks (PSMs) constituting the State Control Survey. SCIMS online is a tool which enables users to discover and download data related to each survey mark contained within SCIMS. This includes position, accuracy, source and all other technical information, required by surveyors, to fulfil their obligations under NSW legislation when undertaking surveys and creating survey plans.The NSW Survey Mark app allows users to search and view the location of any permanent survey marks across the state, access mark details or report a change in its status.To download the NSW Survey Mark Android app, please visit Google Play.To download the NSW Survey Mark iPhone app, please visit the iTunes Store.MetadataContent TitleSCIMS OnlineContent TypeWeb ApplicationDescriptionSCIMS online is a toll which enables users to discover and download data related to each survey mark contained within the Survey Control Information Management System (SCIMS).Initial Publication Date15/11/2023Data Currency15/11/2023Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceWebsite URLFile TypeDocumentAttributionData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsAccuracySpatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:4326WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentContent LineageData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationData CustodianDCS Spatial Services346 Panorama AveBathurst NSW 2795Point of ContactPlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData AggregatorData DistributorAdditional Supporting InformationTRIM Number

This 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 (SCIMS).

The scourced Geotiff file is cropped to the map window only, with no legend, disclaimers, map grip, scale bar or north arrow displayed. The NSW Topographic Map series is derived from the Digital Topographic Database (DTDB).

Information viewed in this web service includes: • Roads

• Points of Interest

• Localities

• Contours

• Drainage

• Cultural data

• Parks and forests

• Property boundaries.

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.\r \r The network is represented physically by over 250,000\r 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.

The series is arranged alphabetically by map name and then by topographic map number.

This Web Map supports the Survey Mark Sketches application. The application is identical to Survey Mark Sketches in the Six portal. It allows users to download Locality Sketch Plan (LSP) for survey marks where one has been provided.

The Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2017 Clauses 39 and 43 require a surveyor to report the position of Permanent Survey Marks. A surveyor usually complies with this requirement by lodging an LSP which contains;

• On-site measurements, adequate to locate the permanent survey mark
• Information, measured or calculated, essential for the plotting of a permanent mark position onto the Digital Cadastral Data Base (DCDB)
• MGA94 or MGA2020 co-ordinates of the permanent survey mark to enable the permanent survey mark to be spatially located in the Survey Control Information Management System (SCIMS).

Surveyors can lodge Locality Sketch Plans via our Customer Hub.

For further details on the preparation and lodgement of Locality Sketch Plans, please refer to Surveyor-General’s Direction No. 2 – Preparation of Locality Sketch Plans (PDF 651.6 KB).

Web map is built on using the Survey Mark GDA2020 Data Service. Actual PDF sketch plan is sourced from SIX portal.

Roads and Maritime Services regularly commissioned surveyors to survey the resumption of existing roads or future road sites prior to undertaking road works across the state as part of its Survey Property Function. The majority of the Licensed and Registered Surveyors commissioned for this activity were full-time employed by DMR as part of the Survey Property division; however, DMR did routinely contract Licensed and Registered Surveyors to undertake select pieces of work.

Control Marks are the primary/base control used for preliminary survey measurements; it may consist of any known point capable of establishing accurate control of distance and direction.

Department of Main Roads Control Mark sketch plans hold the following information; parish; municipality or shire; road number; type of mark; reason the mark was placed; co-ordinate values of mark; and level of mark. Department of Main Roads had its own control network similar to SCIMS, however at some stage it was decided that a lot of the marks would be stored in SCIMS. Whilst the majority of the marks are stored in SCIMS, some are not. Some of the marks form part of the State Control Network, and they are the manual copies (printed versions/photocopies) of what is stored digitally.

The format of the records are A4 and foolscap. Individual records have been hole punched. A small section of the records have been produced on photographic film. Records were removed from ring bound folders and placed in separate archival folders to maintain original arrangement created by department. Records are not any sequential order.

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].
