NSW Features of Interest Category - Health Facilities

Please Note

WGS 84 = GDA94 service

This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionally.

The NSW Features of Interest Category – Health 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 -Health Category service include:

Ambulance - An ambulance station is a structure or other area set aside for storage of ambulance vehicles and medical equipment. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of Interest Category Database.

Children’s Hospital - A hospital specifically for the care of children.

General Hospital - An institution in which the sick or injured persons are given medical or surgical treatment.

Psychiatric Hospital - A hospital for the care and treatment of patients affected with acute or chronic mental illness.

These point feature datasets are part of the Features of Interest Category data and all the Health-related data centroids 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.
