Asset Infrastructure

Brief description

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Assets Geodatabase is directly related to the Assets Maintenance System (AMS) which runs under SAP and contains similar fields, values and business rules. The Assets Geodatabase is the vehicle in which spatial assets are initially captured, edited and stored so that the features have coordinates and can be viewed spatially. The data is collected across the entire NSW National Parks Estate and includes some off-park features for fire management, access and mapping purposes. Currently the spatial feature data is manually synchronised with the AMS. The two systems run side by side and are linked by an ID field. AMS is also set up to be used by other wider Department groups eg. Botanic Gardens and Parklands and previously Marine Parks.

Currently the database includes the following 39 Feature Classes:

* Barrier
