ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZAC0602000903
Title: ACTMAP Database of Road Boundaries
Custodian: ACT Planning and Land Authority
Jurisdiction: Australian Capital Territory
Abstract:
One of a series of spatial databases covering the Australian Capital Territory. This data set is the graphical representation of the status of all gazetted public roads in the ACT. The database will become the legal representation of roads in the ACT upon passing of the new ACT Public Roads 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: Continual
Access constraints:
This database is not generally available being a work in progress
Lineage:
The information in this data set is based on the survey accurate ACT cadastral boundaries. The road boundaries were created by adopting everything which fell outside of a defined block as road. These boundaries were then verified against historical gazettal records. At the data of enactment of the proposed legislation this database will become the legal definition of public roads in the ACT
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 data is run through a suite of data checking and verification programs before being loaded into the database. These programs check cleaness, completeness, presence of appropriate attributes and a number of other parameters. The database is not topologically structured
Completeness:
80% complete and being maintained in anticipation of the passing of a new ACT Government Public Roads Act
