The Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) is a complex energy market that faces challenges due to the increasing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the transition to a net-zero emissions target. Power system modelling plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges by providing insights into different scenarios and informing decision-making. However, accessing power system data containing sensitive information can be a concern. Synthetic data offer a solution by allowing researchers to analyze and develop new methods while protecting confidential information. This paper utilizes an existing synthetic network model based on the NEM (`S-NEM2300'-bus system) to develop a benchmark for power system optimization studies. The model is derived and enhanced using PowerModels.jl and MATPOWER data models, and feasibility is ensured through power flow and optimal power flow studies. The resulting benchmark model, called `S-NEM2000'-bus system, is validated and enriched with additional parameters such a thermal limits, generation fuel categories and cost models. The `S-NEM2000'-bus system is an \emph{open} dataset which provides a valuable resource for optimization studies in the power system domain.
