Boundaries Theme – Local Government Area
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 functionally.
NSW 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. Metadata

Accuracy
The dataset maintains a positional
relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets.
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 of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is
currently underway.
