The waste management facilities dataset underwent a complete updated in 2022 using waste data captured by the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (DAWE). The dataset was address matched using the address provided with the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) data. Where no spatial location was provided GIS specialist’s attempted to find a corresponding G-NAF address and updates to this address completed where possible. Visual located sites were found using Esri World Imagery and aligned to match a similar location on the block based on the surrounding G-NAF address. For example centre or front of block. Some locations were unable to be located due to lack of ground truthing capability. All other waste facilities contain the spatial and attribution originally received from DAWE. The imagery used ranges from one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery.
