This service is produced for the National Map project. It provides seamless topographic greyscale mapping for the whole of Australia, including the external territories of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island, Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island. The service consists of Geoscience Australia data at smaller scales and OpenStreetMap data is used at larger scales. The service contains layer scale dependencies.

The Gazetteer of Australia is the authoritative data source providing information on the location and spelling of approved place names on the Australian mainland extending to the 3 mile marine limit, together with its external territories, except the Australian Antarctic Territory. Contains all the authorised place names covering Australia's land and offshore areas. The 2010 release consists of over 300,000 place names. The Gazetteer is compiled by the Geospatial and Earth Monitoring Division of Geoscience Australia, on behalf of the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (a committee of the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM)). Data is sourced from the relevant State and Territory jurisdictions (ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, WA) along with various Australian Government agencies (Australian Antarctic Division, Australia Hydrographic Service, and Geoscience Australia).

The digital Local Government Areas and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each Australian state and territory jurisdiction and are available below. Local Government Areas are part of Geoscape Administrative Boundaries, which is built and maintained by [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/) using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/). The full Administrative Boundaries dataset comprises seven Geoscape products: * Localities * Local Government Areas (LGAs) * Wards * Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries, * Electoral Boundaries * State Boundaries and * Town Points Updated versions of Administrative Boundaries are published on a quarterly basis. Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums. **There were no updates in the February 2025 release** Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/data/administrative-boundaries/) through Geoscape Australia’s network of [partners](https://geoscape.com.au/partners/). They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support. Note: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia. ## License Information The Australian Government has negotiated the release of Administrative Boundaries to the whole economy under an [open CCBY 4.0 license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Geoscape G-NAF is the geocoded address database for Australian businesses and governments. It’s the trusted source of geocoded address data for Australia with over 50 million contributed addresses distilled into 15.4 million G-NAF addresses. It is built and maintained by [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/) using independently examined and validated government data. From 22 August 2022, Geoscape Australia is making G-NAF available in an additional simplified table format. [G-NAF Core](https://geoscape.com.au/data/g-naf-core/?utm_source=DISER&utm_medium=referral&utm_term=data.gov.au&utm_content=download+data&utm_campaign=G-NAF+core) makes accessing geocoded addresses easier by utilising less technical effort. G-NAF Core will be updated on a quarterly basis along with G-NAF. Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/). With more than 15 million Australian physical address record, G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals. Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Previous versions are available [here](https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-e1a365fc-52f5-4798-8f0c-ed1d33d43b6d/details?q=previous%20gnaf) Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums. **Changes in the February 2025 release** * Nationally, the February 2025 update of G-NAF shows an overall increase of 47,284 addresses (0.30%). The total number of addresses in G-NAF now stands at 15,706,733 of which 14,867,032 or 94.65% are principal. * In the February 2025 release of G-NAF, over 300 addresses in Morra, Western Australia have been updated. About 150 addresses have changed locations and 160 properties now have street numbers instead of lot numbers. Some properties are still using lot-numbers, resulting in two addressees. This issue will be resolved in the May 2025 update of G-NAF. * In the February release, Geoscape has re-classified geocode types of ‘Property Access Point Setback’ (PAPS) to be ‘Property Access Point’ (PAP) in South Australia where the geocode falls within a road casement as the geocode is not set back into a land parcel. This update has changed approximately 57,000 geocodes to PAP from their previous classification of PAPS, while there are some 14,000 PAPS geocodes that remain unchanged. * Geoscape has moved product descriptions, guides and reports online to https://docs.geoscape.com.au. Further information on G-NAF, including FAQs on the data, is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/data/g-naf) or through Geoscape Australia’s network of [partners](https://geoscape.com.au/partners/).
