Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-heritage-places/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-heritage-places/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-heritage-places/rows?heritage_class=eq.State&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-heritage-places/aggregate?group=council&metric=count&heritage_class=eq.State Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/sa-heritage-places/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/sa-heritage-places/v/2026-06-28/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, GeoJSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, GeoPackage, PMTiles, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open State and local heritage places in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/sa-heritage-places/v/2026-06-28/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 23,229 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/sa-heritage-places/v/2026-06-28/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does State and local heritage places cover? The current version covers 1981 to 2025. Each release from Housing and Urban Development becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is State and local heritage places updated? Housing and Urban Development releases it when the publisher updates the layer. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use State and local heritage places commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for State and local heritage places? No. The publisher is Department for Housing and Urban Development, and its page is https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/sa-heritage-places. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.zip with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What coordinate system does State and local heritage places use? Shapes in GDA2020 (EPSG:7844), from the GDA2020 layer the publisher ships beside a GDA94 copy. The GeoJSON file uses GDA2020 as well, which differs from the WGS84 GeoJSON expects by well under a metre. ### What is in each row? One footprint of a heritage place, with its heritage number and identifier, address, council, description, heritage class (state, local or contributory), the listing criteria and dates, the land parcels, and for state heritage places the register status, extent of listing and statement of significance where given. The shape is in the GeoParquet, GeoJSON, GeoPackage and PMTiles files. ### Why does one place have several rows? The publisher splits a parcel that carries more than one heritage item, and some items have more than one footprint, so one heritage number can appear on several rows. The polygon type column says how each footprint was drawn. ### How exact are the shapes? The publisher gives an indicative footprint and rates the location of each as high or low confidence, or unable to locate, in the accuracy columns. A low confidence footprint may not match the building on the ground. ### Where are the places without a footprint? The publisher's point layer of the same places has a few more rows than the footprints. This table holds the footprint layer. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.zip`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/sa-heritage-places.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/sa-heritage-places.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
