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.

Local Government Area depicts polygons of gazette boundaries defining the Local Government Area. It contains all of the cadastral line data or topographic features which are used to define the boundaries between adjoining shires, municipalities, cities (Local Government Act 1993) and the unincorporated areas of NSW. The dataset also contains Council Names and ABS Codes It is a feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB).

Administrative Boundaries Theme are data elements containing boundaries that delineate geographic areas.

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 - Local Government AreaContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW Local Government Area is a dataset within the Administrative Boundaries Theme (FSDF). It depicts polygons of gazetted boundaries defining the Local Government Area. It contains all of the cadastral line data or topographic features which are used to define the boundaries between adjoining shires, municipalities, cities (Local Government Act) and the unincorporated areas of NSW.The dataset also contains Council Names, ABS Codes, Ito Codes, Vg Codes, and Wb Codes. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the Land Parcel and Property.Features are positioned in topological alignment within the extents of the land parcel and property polygons for each Local Government Area and are held in alignment, including changes resulting cadastral maintenance and upgrades.Initial Publication Date05/05/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyDailyContent 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.

To do this you need to add a Spatial Join.A Spatial Join is a GIS operation that affixes data from one feature layer’s attribute table to another from a spatial perspective.To see how NSW Address, Property, Lot Geometry data and tables can be spatially joined, download the Data Model Document.

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistical Geographical Standard Boundaries divides an area of interest throughout the state of NSW on which statistics are collected for purposes under the Census and Statistics Act 1905 (Cth). The ABS Structures are a hierarchy of regions developed for the release of ABS statistical information. The main components are as follows: • Statistical Areas Level 4 • Statistical Areas Level 3 • Statistical Areas Level 2 • Statistical Areas Level 1 • Regional Boundaries.

State Electoral District dataset represents current NSW or NSW Federal electoral boundaries in conjunction with the Electoral Commission, containing all of the cadastral line data or topographic data features which form, by definition, the boundaries between adjoining electorates. It is a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB).

Soil Landscapes comprise of the Soil Landscape Series mapping based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets and Soil and Land Resource Series mapping using catchment boundaries or other areas of state significance. Mapping and accompanying reports provide an inventory of soil and landscape properties of their area and identify major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. The ‘Soil Landscape’ concept integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of Australian Soil Classification, Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems. Key soil materials are also identified for the Soil Landscape Series.

Addressing is the specific identification of a fixed location (for example, a plot of land, building, part of a building, way of access or other construction) which is represented by a structured arrangement of place names. It may be further detailed with the inclusion of other valuable attributes including geocodes.

The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with a coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.The 2016 ASGS will be used for the 2016 Census of Population and Housing and progressively introduced into other ABS data collections. The ABS encourages the use of the ASGS by other organisations to improve the comparability and usefulness of statistics generally, and in analysis and visualisation of statistical and other data.The ABS Structures are a hierarchy of regions developed for the release of ABS statistical information.

Suburb dataset represents the gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area. The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is responsible for new suburb names and amendments to the extent of a suburb boundary. The dataset also contains post codes that are held against each suburb, sourced and matched from Australia Post. It is a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB).
