National Onshore Gas Pipelines Database

Brief description

The National Onshore Gas Pipelines Dataset represents the spatial locations of pipelines for the transmission of natural gas within mainland Australia complimented with feature attribution.

Lineage

Using the latest pipeline datasets acquired from the States and Territories, the data was uploaded into an ArcSDE environment using Feature Manipulation Engine (FME). The process included the extraction of the themed (gas pipeline) features, and the translation of the data into a new schema created by the Built Environment & Exposure Section, National Location Information Group, Geoscience Australia (GA).
