NSW Features of Interest Category - Education Facilities 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).

Note: Client-side transformation(s) can be used to over-ride these default transformations.

The original [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] is still available, without the ‘multiCRS’ suffix. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt this new multiCRS functionally.

The Features of Interest category Education Services is part of the Building Complex feature class and is represented as a community facility.

Features that make up the NSW Features of interest Category - Education services include:

Primary School - An education facility that caters for 5- 12 year olds, private and public. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Primary school data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

High School - An education facility that caters for 12 – 18 year olds, private and public. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. High school data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

Combined Primary and Secondary School - A facility used for full-time primary and secondary instruction of children, typically aged 5 to 17. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Combined primary and secondary school data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

Pre School - A facility used for the tuition of young children prior to school age, usually children under the age of five. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Pre-school data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

Technical College - Post secondary (TAFEs) education excluding University. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Technical college data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

University - An educational institution for both instruction and examination in the higher branches of knowledge with the power to confer degrees. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. University data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.

These features do not fit within one of the ten foundation spatial data themes and are therefore classified as a category. They have historically been captured by Spatial Services as part of the NSW topographic mapping program and therefore warrant inclusion.

Relationship to Themes and Datasets	Features of Interest Category of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
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 of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.
