Vehicle Crossing standards, have been included as part of our existing Inventory Pathway Standard, together with Pathway and Kerb Crossing.  

A new Survey Mark Standard has also been included as part of AMDS Inventory.

In order to create better national alignment for symbology, a standalone, Road Status standard is included together with further explanatory notes “Road Status and Symbology updates”.

A Provisional version of new and updated Common Standards has been included to accommodate these new standards.

Release Version 1.3 will continue to be available and includes additional information and supporting documentation in relation to the approach to the Drainage Standard and the AMDS System Standard.
