This version is kept for as long as this site exists, and its URL can be cited. Its files change only for the reasons the terms give, and each change is recorded in its notes. The publisher's file is here as source.geojson, byte for byte.

About this version

The layer states no edit date or dated records, so this version is dated by the portal record.

The publisher offers no file. These bytes are every feature of the layer as the service returned them in WGS84, ordered by its object id, so the same layer gives the same bytes.

Files

  • data.arrow87 KB Arrow: Arrow IPC file (Feather v2), zstd compressed, with the provenance in the schema metadata. Memory-maps in pyarrow, Polars, Arrow JS and R without parsing.
  • data.csv192 KB CSV: UTF-8 without a byte-order mark, RFC 4180 quoting, one header row using the normalised field names. Opens in Excel, Numbers and Sheets.
  • data.csv-metadata.json2.0 KB
  • data.csv.gz64 KB CSV (gzip): The same CSV, gzipped, at about a tenth of the size. curl, pandas, DuckDB and R read it directly.
  • data.duckdb DuckDB: One DuckDB database with a records table of typed columns, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. It attaches read-only over HTTPS, so DuckDB, Python and R can query it without downloading it.
  • data.geojson58 MB GeoJSON: A FeatureCollection with one feature per row, its polygon in GDA2020, and every field as a property. Ready for QGIS, Leaflet, MapLibre and geopandas.
  • data.gpkg26 MB GeoPackage: A GeoPackage with one polygon layer, records, in GDA2020 (EPSG:7844), plus the fields and publicdata tables. Drag it into QGIS or ArcGIS.
  • data.json386 KB JSON: One object with a publicdata header (publisher, licence, attribution, version, source hash), a fields list and a records array of 3,359 objects with typed values. Blank cells are null.
  • data.ndjson382 KB NDJSON: The first line is the provenance header, then one JSON object per line. For streaming and for tools that read line by line.
  • data.parquet21 MB GeoParquet: every field and the polygon itself as a WKB geometry column in GDA2020, with the coordinate system in the file's geo metadata. Reads directly in DuckDB, GeoPandas, QGIS and GDAL.
  • data.pmtiles5.8 MB PMTiles: Vector tiles in one PMTiles file, zoom 0 to 10, every field a property. MapLibre and Leaflet read it over HTTPS with range requests, so a map needs no tile server.
  • data.sqlite250 KB SQLite: One database with a records table, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. Open it with any SQLite client.
  • data.xlsx139 KB Excel: One workbook with a records sheet of 3,359 typed rows, a fields sheet and a publicdata sheet with the provenance. Dates are real Excel dates. Opens in Excel, Numbers, LibreOffice and Sheets.

  • source.geojson58 MB

SHA256SUMS holds the SHA-256 of every file in this version under the name it downloads as. Check what you downloaded with sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS in the same folder. On a Mac, use shasum -a 256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS. Each list is signed by the deploy that wrote it: gh attestation verify SHA256SUMS --repo National-Digital/publicdata.au --source-ref refs/heads/main shows it came from this project's main branch.
