EPSG:8579 DEPRECATED

AGD84 to WGS 84 (6)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: AGD84

Datum: Australian Geodetic Datum 1984

Ellipsoid: Australian National Spheroid

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: OGP

Revision date: 2000-10-19

Steps of transformation: 1593 1150

Scope: (null/copy) Approximation for medium and low accuracy applications assuming equality between plate-fixed static and earth-fixed dynamic CRSs, ignoring static/dynamic CRS differences.

Remarks: Approximation at the +/- 1m level assuming that GDA94 is equivalent to WGS 84. Supersedes AGD84 to WGS 84 (5) (code 8560).

Area of use: Australia - Western Australia.
