Spatial Services is pleased to announce the release of the Property API, along with updates to various other NSW Point V3 APIs, available from Monday, 10 March 2025.
The Property API validates State and National property references, linking to authoritative cadastral and address datasets. It allows customers to input a 'property ID' and retrieve FSDI property and cadastral data.
The Property API release brings several key benefits:
- State and national property IDs - Nationwide property data available
- Reliable property validation - Ensures accuracy by linking to authoritative cadastral and address datasets at both state and national levels.
- Seamless data integration - Connects property references across multiple datasets, simplifying access to FSDI property and cadastral data.
- Customisable responses - Users can refine API responses with filtering options and select preferred Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) for better compatibility with their workflows.
- Comprehensive property insights - The response includes essential details such as cadastral parcels and administrative boundaries, providing a complete property view.
- Efficient data management - Pagination functionality enhances performance, allowing users to retrieve large datasets efficiently.
Other NSW Point enhancements included in this release:
- MailPoint API - The functionality to support bulk mail delivery via Australia Post has been enhanced (further information available here). Users can now customise the barcode using the following parameters:
- barcodeFormat
- barcodeData
- propertyBundle - Streamline your property data retrieval with a single API response. This feature allows you to access property details from all NSW Point APIs that support the Additional Properties parameter, improving cross-referencing and efficiency (further information available here).
- ContributorPropertyId - Ensure data consistency and traceability with a unique identifier assigned by state or territory governments. This ID links Geoscape's national property dataset with authoritative property records across jurisdictions.
- Updated stateFilter parameter - The 'all' value has been deprecated from the stateFilter parameter in all NSW Point V3 APIs. Accepted values: ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, WA, OT.
- Updated dataset parameter - The 'all' value has been deprecated from the dataset parameter in all NSW Point V3 APIs.
The team at Spatial Services is pleased to release NSW Point Version 3.
Our clients are familiar with validation of address and now have the option to expand the user input to include coordinate and cadastral parcel with property a new feature to be released later in 2024.
Key highlights and points of difference for NSW Point V3
- A variety of input formats to service the Foundation Spatial Data Index (FSDI) framework.
- Improved cloud-based infrastructure that is reliable, scalable and robust.
- All data supplied at a national level to support cross-state transaction reporting.
- Standardised outputs across all services ensuring you can get the information you need from any of the FSDI inputs.
- Inclusion of cadastral and/or property information for the requested location in the output.
- Support for customers using or wanting other coordinate reference systems (CRS) such as GDA 2020.
- Comprehensive address geocoding services that include parsing of the user input address, and a broad variety of match types and geocode quality outputs.
- Reverse geocoding that identifies the nearest address to a coordinate location and returns related information for the address.
- The inclusion of new administrative boundary layers and expanded data for existing layers including:
- Official locality/suburb information
- Australian Statistical Geography Standards (ASGS) information for 2011, 2016, 2021 ABS Census areas
- ABS Remoteness Areas information for 2016 and 2021
- ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) information for 2021
- State Electoral Boundary Information for retired, current, and proposed boundary areas
- Local Government Area information
- Commonwealth Electoral Boundary information
Agencies wishing to test the new APIs can do so for 90 days by submitting the access request form.
There is a change required to transition from our current API services and we will continue to support NSW Point V2.
For existing V2 customers, we strongly encourage that you consider migrating your systems across to V3 to take advantage of the new improvements it offers. To find information that supports your existing implementation, please visit our Version 2 website
