Suburb LGA Concordance

The dataset shows list of suburbs/localities and the LGA's they fall within. percentage attribute indicates the percentage by area of the locality within each LGA. Where locality and LGA boundaries do not meet exactly, very small percentages may result.

It is important to note that LGAs and suburbs are not coincident. Suburbs can, and often do, extend beyond LGA boundaries. They are determined using two separate processes. LGAs are assigned under the Local Government Act 1993 and have been proclaimed using either metes and bounds descriptions or registration of public plans in the Registry of Public Surveys. Suburbs and Localities are assigned by the GNB under the provisions of the Geographical Names Act.

In these cases, care should be taken when relying solely on the list and visual confirmation is recommended.

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.

Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms. Available as either cache or non-cache, depending on client use or requirement.   Information about the Feature Class and Domain Name descriptions for the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme can be found in the NSW Cadastral Delivery Model Data Dictionary

Some of Spatial Services Datasets are designed to work together for example NSW Address Point and NSW Address String (table), NSW Property (Polygon) and NSW Property Lot (table) and NSW Lot (polygons). 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.
