The NSW Administrative Boundaries Web Service is a dynamic map of administrative and property boundaries. Administrative Areas Boundaries depict a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database maintained by Spatial Services (DCS). The administrative boundaries provided through this web service includes: Counties, Suburbs, Parishes, Local Government Areas, State Forests, National Parks, State Electoral Districts. NOTE: Please contact the Customer HUB https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/ for advice on datasets access.

Access API NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme – State Electoral District Please Note WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94 This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new multiCRS functionality. Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - State Electoral DistrictContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW State Electoral District is a dataset within the NSW Administrative boundaries theme (FSDF). It represents current NSW electoral boundaries which were formalised in the 2021 electoral redistribution and enacted in the 2023 NSW state election.The Electoral District Boundary aligns to, or is relevant to, the cadastral line data or topographic data features which form, by definition, the boundaries between adjoining electorates.The Electoral Commission NSW is responsible for this dataset. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the Administrative boundaries theme.Spatial Services maintain this dataset relative to the NSW Digital Cadastral Dataset. That is, if cadastral boundaries are upgraded to better align to property boundaries shown on original survey plans, State Electoral Districts are also moved to reflect this improved spatial accuracy.Initial Publication Date05/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:4326WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.

The State Border is a product dataset created from the LGA dataset which depicts the extent of NSW as described by the gazetted boundaries of Local Government Areas.

The Administrative Boundaries theme is a collection of legislative, regulatory, political, maritime and general administrative boundaries sourced from local and state boundary datasets.

The digital Electoral Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been supplied by the Electoral Commission from each state and territory as well as the Australian Electoral Commission and are available below. These boundaries undergo re-distribution depending on population of the electorate before each election. Electoral Boundaries 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 contains boundaries in seven themes: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) boundaries, electoral boundaries, state and territory boundaries, local government areas, suburbs/localities, wards and town points. As at November 2019, users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing the new Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) in addition to datasets on the GDA94 datum. For GDA2020 datasets, the name of the zip folder and the root folder (once extracted) include a reference to GDA2020. For GDA94 datasets, the zip and root folder names do not contain the datum name (i.e. they remain the same as previous releases). For example, the zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries downloaded in GDA2020 for November 2019 looks like this: • NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile_GDA2020; or • NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat_GDA2020 The zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries in GDA94 for November 2019 looks like this: • NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile; or • NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat Irrespective of the datum chosen, files within the respective folder use exactly the same naming structures. ** There were no updates in the August 2024 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/).

The NSW Administrative Boundaries Web Service is a dynamic map of administrative and property boundaries. Administrative Areas Boundaries depict a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database maintained by LPI. The administrative boundaries provided through this web service includes: Counties, Suburbs, Parishes, Local Government Areas, State Forests, National Parks, State Electoral Districts. For detailed information, for each individual dataset contained in this web services, please see the Digital Cadastre Database Dictionary published at http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/mapping_and_imagery/spatial_data. This web service allows users to easily integrate NSW Administrative Boundaries into OGC compliant spatial platforms and applications. Administrative Boundaries can be used to aggregate information for analytical purposes and analyse time series trends. Administrative boundary data in combination with geo-coded address data, demographic information and agency specific business information underpins the ability to perform high quality spatial analysis.
