The NSW Base Map Web Service depicts a map of New South Wales (NSW) using layers from the Digital Topographic Database, the Geocoded Urban and Rural Addressing System database and the Digital Cadastral Database. This base map includes: Roads, Points of Interest, Localities, Landform, Drainage, Cultural data, Parks and forests, Property boundaries and Street address numbers.

Description | The NSW Base Map web service depicts a map of NSW using layers from the Digital Topographic Database, the Geocoded Urban and Rural Addressing System database and the Digital Cadastral Database.
Web service uses/fitness for purpose This web service allows users to easily integrate a NSW base map into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications. This web service provides an ideal base map depicting a combined view of NSW Foundation Spatial Information for use within spatial applications and systems. Current State This web service is current and complete. Future development This web service is updated when new information has been captured or sourced by DFSI Spatial Services. Standards and specifications OGC compliant and suitable for consumption by common GIS platforms. This dataset is compliant with the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework and its specifications. |

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets | The NSW Base Map is made up from elements from NSW Administrative Boundaries, Land Parcel Property, Water, Transport and Geocoded Address Themes as well as Features of Interest and Physiography Categories of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Boundaries. |
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 to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing. |
