Title: ACTMAP Database of residential addresses
Custodian: ACT Planning and Land Authority
Jurisdiction: Australian Capital Territory
Abstract:
One of a series of spatial databases covering the Australian Capital Territory. This database contains all street address numbers for urban and rural residences within the ACT
ANZLIC search words:
Spatial domain:
Geographic extent name: AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY - ACT - State or Territory - Australia
Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate) See GEN Register
Beginning date: Not Known
Ending date: Current
Progress: In Progress
Maintenance and update frequency: Monthly
Access constraints:
ACTMAP datasets are available to non ACT Government agencies and the private sector on a fee basis. Details of costs can be obtained by phoning the contact numbers
Lineage:
Residential numbering is allocated at the time of subdivision by staff in this department and the new numbers are entered into an ORACLE database. These addresses are extracted in a batch process and used to update the graphical ACTMAP Address database
Positional accuracy:
All data is held in ACT Co-ordinates which are planar co-ordinates based on a false origin at Mt Stromlo of 200000/600000. These co-ordinates can be converted into other formats if required
Attribute accuracy:
This database has attribution showing time / date of creation or modification of each entity in the database. All entities will have at least an attribute of 1 July 1994 (the date of initial use of this attribute). Dates after this will indicate the actual time and date of creation of the entity in the database.
Logical Consistency:
The residential addresses are spatially referenced to the land parcels and the text block always falls within the polygon representing the block and is located adjacent to the street frontage to which the address applies.
Completeness:
The database is complete and updated every 24 hours with any new information
