NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - State Electoral District

 Access APINSW Administrative Boundaries Theme – State Electoral DistrictPlease NoteWGS 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 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.

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.
