Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Pipelines included in the authorised reference material for pipelines will be added.

Small pipelines serving individual homesteads or farmhouses will not be shown.

If base material/digital data and reference material does not provide information on oil or gas pipeline relationships to ground level, then they should be attributed as Underground.

Pipelines are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'. Where applicable textnotes should be ordered so that detailed descriptive information such as 'underground' or 'disused' follows the more generic product pipeline information e.g. 'gas pipeline underground'

UpperScale values will be assigned based on the minimum size for Map Representation. Submerged pipelines will not be eligible for UpperScale Value of 1,000,000.

For all scales the following will apply when assigning symbol representations:

1) When two or more pipelines (neither of them water) run closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other only one will be symbolised as a pipeline with the other pipeline/s given a symbol of LineNoDraw. If one pipeline is above ground or elevated and the other is below ground the representation will be given to the above ground/elevated pipeline. It is this representation which will be shown on the map face and labelled with the names and/or substance/s as appropriate.

2) When two or more pipelines (where one is a water pipeline) run closer than 1mm to scale and parallel to each other, they will be cartographically generalised as follows:
-If more than one pipeline is not water then these pipelines will be generalised into a single pipeline as stated in the above paragraphs, and the resultant pipeline symbol representation will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.
-If only one pipeline is not water, that pipeline will be symbolised, and the resultant pipeline symbol representation will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.

In both cases the two final pipeline representations should be labelled on the map face with their name and/or substance/s as appropriate.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Where one pipeline crosses another a node will be shown at the intersection point. ie. the arcs will be split.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset


Map Rules

General - All Scales

Pipelines are to have an accompanying descriptive note eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'.

Pipelines will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

Pipelines will be masked for Roads, Built Up Area and Recreation Areas (Feature Class). The break will be the same as the width of the road it crosses.

Two or more pipelines running closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other will be represented as per the Geodatabase Rules.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Pipelines included in the authorised reference material for pipelines will be added.

Small pipelines serving individual homesteads or farmhouses will not be shown.

If base material/digital data and reference material does not provide information on oil or gas pipeline relationships to ground level, then they should be attributed as Underground.

Pipelines are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'. Where applicable textnotes should be ordered so that detailed descriptive information such as 'underground' or 'disused' follows the more generic product pipeline information e.g. 'gas pipeline underground'

UpperScale values will be assigned based on the minimum size for Map Representation. Submerged pipelines will not be eligible for UpperScale Value of 1,000,000.

For all scales the following will apply when assigning symbol representations:

1) When two or more pipelines (neither of them water) run closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other only one will be symbolised as a pipeline with the other pipeline/s given a symbol of LineNoDraw. If one pipeline is above ground or elevated and the other is below ground the representation will be given to the above ground/elevated pipeline. It is this representation which will be shown on the map face and labelled with the names and/or substance/s as appropriate.

2) When two or more pipelines (where one is a water pipeline) run closer than 1mm to scale and parallel to each other, they will be cartographically generalised as follows:
-If more than one pipeline is not water then these pipelines will be generalised into a single pipeline as stated in the above paragraphs, and the resultant pipeline symbol representation will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.
-If only one pipeline is not water, that pipeline will be symbolised the resultant pipeline symbol representation will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.
In both cases the two final pipeline representations should be labelled on the map face with their name and/or substance/s as appropriate.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Where one pipeline crosses another a node will be shown at the intersection point. ie. the arcs will be split.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset


Map Rules

General - All Scales

Pipelines are to have an accompanying descriptive note eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'.

Pipelines will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

Pipelines will be masked for Roads, Built Up Area and Recreation Areas (Feature Class). The break will be the same as the width of the road it crosses.

Two or more pipelines running closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other will be represented as per the Geodatabase Rules.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Powerlines will be sourced either from the base material/digital data supplied by authoritative Electricity companies or via open public access sources.
For data obtained via open public access sources the restrictions entry should by default be 'Public Access' unless Geoscience Australia indicates the information is sensitive and therefore requires a unique restriction category.

For data obtained via authoritative Electricity companies the restrictions field should be populated based on licence agreements made with the company (eg 'Australian Federal Govt Only'). All powerlines obtained via authoritative Electricity companies must have the 'Realignment Status' populated. Initially this 'Realignment Status' must be populated with 'Original Source Position'. Powerlines of a voltage of 66kv and above are required for product creation and therefore need to be revised spatially for licence agreement purposes. These powerlines should be reviewed against imagery and during revision processes the 'Realignment Status' attribute updated accordingly. Dependant on the licence agreement this may also affect the 'Restrictions' field, Geoscience Australia will provide directions to producers if this is the case.

Powerlines less than 33kv will be given an UpperScale value of 25 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 33kv and less than 66kv will be given an UpperScale value of 50 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 66kv and less than 110kv will be given an UpperScale value of 100 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 110kv will be given a minimum UpperScale value of 250 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Indefinite' unless otherwise known.


For an UpperScale value of 1 000 000 should have a minimum capacity of 110Kv and have a relationship of Overhead. Differentiation between an Upperscale of 250 000 and an Upperscale of 1 000 000 should be based on a cartographic selection, taking into account minimum size criteria, showing a representative network with operational powerlines given precedence.

The only exceptions to the above rules will be if Airservices Australia requests lower kv powerlines to be represented on 1 000 000 WAC charts, where this is the case these lower kv will not be symbolised on intermediate scales.

Powerlines sourced from the base material/digital data with the words 'position approximate' indicated in the 'data supplier assessment column' will be textnoted with a descriptive note 'position approximate' unless position can be verified from imagery/orthophotography.

For all scales the following will apply when assigning symbol representations:

When two or more powerlines run closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other only one will be symbolised as a powerline with the other powerline/s given a symbol of LineNoDraw. Which powerline should be symbolised in these cases is based on the hierarchy of voltage (eg 100kv symbolised in precedence 66kv), relationship to the ground (eg overhead symbolised in precedence to underground) and network connectivity. It is this symbolised representation which will be shown on the map face.

Cartographic generalisation of symbol representations should take into account the width of the powerline symbol.

Underground powerlines will be symbolised with '1' Line No Draw.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Powerlines that terminate at substations or power stations should maintain their network connectivity with these features by having the appropriate end node of the powerline being coincident with the point feature.

Where one powerline crosses another a node will be shown at their intersection point. ie. the arcs will be split.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset


Map Rules

General - All Scales

Powerlines will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

Powerlines sourced from the reference material with the words 'position approximate' indicated in the 'data supplier assessment column' will be labelled with a descriptive note position approximate where practical.

Powerlines will be masked for Built Up Area and Recreation Areas (Feature Class)

Two or more powerlines running closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other will be represented as per the Geodatabase Rules.

Underground powerlines will not be shown on the map face.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Powerlines will be sourced from the open public access sources. Authoritative Reference Material will be provided by Geoscience Australia to differentiate between Transmission and Distribution networks. The restrictions entry should by default be 'Public Access' unless Geoscience Australia indicates the information is sensitive and therefore requires a unique restriction category.

Powerlines less than 33kv will be given an UpperScale value of 25 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 33kv and less than 66kv will be given an UpperScale value of 50 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 66kv and less than 110kv will be given an UpperScale value of 100 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Definite'.

Powerlines equal to or greater than 110kv will be given a minimum UpperScale value of 250 000 and an Uscertainity of 'Indefinite' unless otherwise known.

For an UpperScale value of 1 000 000 should have a minimum capacity of 110Kv and have a relationship of Overhead. Differentiation between an Upperscale of 250 000 and an Upperscale of 1 000 000 should be based on a cartographic selection, taking into account minimum size criteria, showing a representative network with operational powerlines given precedence.

The only exceptions to the above rules will be if Airservices Australia requests lower kv powerlines to be represented on 1 000 000 WAC charts, where this is the case these lower kv will not be symbolised on intermediate scales.

Powerlines sourced from the base material/digital data with the words 'position approximate' indicated in the 'data supplier assessment column' will be textnoted with a descriptive note 'position approximate' unless position can be verified from imagery/orthophotography.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Information relating to the attributes and existence of Power Stations should be derived via open public access sources.

The Power Station should be positioned central to the main power generation facility.

UpperScale assignment will be based initially on the MegaWatt Capacity of the Power Station as follows:
- All Power Stations with a Capacity equal to or greater than 1000MW will have a minimum Upperscale of 2 500 000
- All Power Stations with a Capacity equal to or greater than 500MW will have a minimum Upperscale of 1 000 000
- All Power Stations with a Capacity equal to or greater than 100MW will have a minimum Upperscale of 250 000
- All Power Stations with a Capacity equal to or greater than 50MW will have a minimum Upperscale of 100 000
- All Power Stations will have a minimum Upperscale of 25000

Power Stations may be assigned a greater UpperScale value than the minimum above if they are associated with Powerlines assigned an equivalent or greater scale and form a significant node in the power transmission network (eg contributing power at the edges of the network and not just boosting the supply along an existing power transmission line).

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Powerlines that terminate at substations or power stations should maintain their network connectivity with these features by having the appropriate end node of the powerline being coincident with the point feature.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

A Power Generation Facility polygon should enclose the power station, if the facility's size meets the minimum data capture criteria.

Buildings with a function of 'Substation' or 'Power Station' will be cloned as 'Sub Station' or 'Power Station' respectively in the Utility Feature Dataset.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Utility feature dataset should exist within the UtilityAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:100 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:250 000, 1:1 000 000)

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Pipelines included in the authorised reference material for pipelines will be added.

Small pipelines serving individual homesteads or farmhouses will not be shown.

If base material/digital data and reference material does not provide information on water pipeline relationships to ground level, then this information should be sought via an Action Request to Geoscience Australia.

When a new undersized length of water pipeline exists between two canals which meet their selection criterion, then the section of water pipeline should be represented as a canal feature, accepting the attributes of its adjoining canals.

Pipelines are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'. Where applicable textnotes should be ordered so that detailed descriptive information such as 'underground' or 'disused' follows the more generic product pipeline information e.g. 'gas pipeline underground'

UpperScale values will be assigned based on the minimum size for Map Representation. Submerged pipelines will not be eligible for UpperScale Value of 1,000,000.

For all scales the following will apply when assigning symbol representations:

1)When two or more pipelines (both of them water) run closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other only one will be symbolised as a pipeline with the other pipeline/s given a symbol of LineNoDraw. If one pipeline is above ground or elevated and the other is below ground the representation will be given to the above ground/elevated pipeline. It is this representation which will be shown on the map face and labelled with the names and/or substance/s as appropriate. The only exception will be if the underground pipeline is a major influence on the hydrology network.

2) When two or more pipelines (at least one is not a water pipeline) run closer than 1mm to scale and parallel to each other, they will be cartographically generalised as follows:
-If more than one pipeline is not water then these pipelines will be generalised into a single pipeline as stated in the above paragraphs, and the resultant pipeline symbol representation will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.
-If only one pipeline is not water, that pipeline will be symbolised the resultant pipeline symbol representation and will be offset from the water pipeline symbol representation.

In both cases the two final pipeline representations should be labelled on the map face with their names and/or substance/s as appropriate.

Where one pipeline crosses another a node will be shown at the intersection point. ie. the arcs will be split.

Pipelines are to have an accompanying descriptive note eg 'pipeline', 'gas pipeline', unless the word 'pipeline' is included in the name. Underground pipelines will be labelled with a descriptive note, 'underground'.

Pipelines will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

Pipelines will be masked for Roads, Built Up Area and Recreation Areas (Feature Class). The break will be the same as the width of the road it crosses.

Two or more pipelines running closer that 1mm to scale and parallel to each other will be represented as per the Geodatabase Rules.
