As constructed data standards and guidelines

Council has adopted an as constructed data standard that incorporates the asset design as constructed (ADAC) specification.

Council continues with the development of the as constructed data standard and guidelines that incorporates the asset design as constructed (ADAC) specification.

ADAC provides a standard specification for describing asset design and as constructed data.

The ADAC specification is defined in the ADAC XML schema and is utilised by council to transfer asset information into its corporate systems. The As Constructed Data Standard applies to the following infrastructure asset types:

  • transport
  • stormwater
  • open space
  • water
  • sewerage
  • cadastre/surface
  • electrical (Revised asset group in V6.00)
  • telecommunication (Revised asset group in V6.00)

On completion of physical works and prior to assets being accepted on maintenance, a current version ADAC XML file of the "As Constructed" and a full set of the "Design Drawings" with the "Marked Up" as constructed information is to be submitted for council review and acceptance. The final "As Constructed" data should accurately reflect material types, specifications and other asset specific information. The digital ADAC XML file must be a complete and detailed digital record of what was constructed, as this information is used by the Council in the management of the assets.

More information on the ADAC process, data schema, available tools and supporting agencies can be found on the ADAC website.

A guideline to assist in the creation and submission of ADAC XML files has been developed and when followed will ensure the creation of compliant ADAC XML files. ADAC XML files are routinely required to accompany the usual bundle of “As Constructed” plans, drawings, schedules and associated information reflecting new donated infrastructure and associated assets handed over to the council.

Sunshine Coast Council has fully adopted GDA2020 and spatial data supplied to, and provided by, council will use this datum.

Sunshine Coast Council has moved to accept the upgraded ADAC Version 6.00, and all submissions made after 1st March 2026 can be either ADAC Version 6.00 or the previous version 5.02 on GDA2020 datum. After 1st September 2026 Sunshine Coast Council will move to ONLY accept ADAC version 6.00.

Guidelines and Data Dictionary for both versions can be accessed by these links ADAC XML guidelines version 5.02 (PDF, 5.44MB), ADAC XML guidelines version 6.0.0 (PDF, 9181KB) and ADAC data dictionary version 6.0.0 (PDF, 1444KB).
