Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

This product, Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (cat no. 1270.0.55.001), is the first in a series of Volumes that will detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis of the regions of the Main Structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas and their relationship to each other.

Volume 2 - Indigenous Structure (cat no. 1270.0.55.002), is the second in a series of Volumes that detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis for the design of the Indigenous Structure. This product contains several elements including the manual, region names and codes and the digital boundaries.

The Non-ABS Structures bring together those regions which are not defined by the ABS, but which are important to users of ABS statistics. ABS is committed to providing a range of statistics for these areas. They generally represent administrative regions and are approximated by Mesh Blocks (MBs), Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1) or Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2). As the Non-ABS Structures represent regions that are subject to ongoing change, the ABS will release a revised publication for ASGS Non-ABS Structures in July each year. The individual structures will only be updated where significant change has occurred in the past year.

Full metadata is available at the feature class level by selecting the 'Description' tab in ArcCatalog.

Dataset History

The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is a hierarchical classification system of geographical regions and consists of a number of interrelated structures. The ASGS brings all the regions for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publishes statistics within the one framework and will be used by the ABS for the collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics from the 1 July 2011. It provides a common framework of statistical geography and enables the production of statistics which are comparable and can be spatially integrated.

Local Government Areas (LGA)

Local Government Areas (LGAs) represent local government boundaries that are defined by each State and Territory. LGAs are useful for understanding the characteristics of an individual local council area at a point in time.

LGAs are also known as Incorporated areas where incorporated local governing bodies have responsibilities (e.g. your local council). Not all areas of Australia are incorporated areas for example, northern parts of South Australia, all of the Australian Capital Territory and some Other Territories. These regions are defined as ‘Unincorporated’ in the ABS LGA structure.

LGAs are built from Mesh Blocks.

Annual reviews of LGAs are conducted and new boundaries are released if changes are identified. For information on these changes see ASGS Edition 3 – LGAs, history of changes. In TableBuilder, LGA boundaries will be updated if there have been changes. There were minor 2023 changes, however, as there were no changes to source boundaries that resulted in a Mesh Block changing allocation, a 2023 LGA variable will not be added in Census TableBuilder datasets.

To assess impacts from climate change on a broad scale, it is important to define the regions where similar sets of hazards, impacts and adaptation decisions can be made.This dataset contains the geographic regions defined for the National Climate Risk Assessment covering the mainland of Australia.This dataset will be useful for assessing climate risk on a national or state based scale, and it is designed for easy input of exposure and vulnerability data into the geographic regions.Status: FinalDataset version: v1, v20240621Maintenance: Not plannedField of research: Division 04 Earth SciencesLineage:This dataset contains the shapefile of the National Climate Risk Assessment Geographic Regions, mainland. This is a combination of two separate shapefiles (Statistical Area 3 2021 Boundaries and States and Territories 2021 boundaries shapefiles from https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs-edition-3/jul2021-jun2026/access-and-downloads/digital-boundary-files). These two files were merged to form a combined shapefile that contained the mainland geographic regions of the National Climate Risk Assessment defined by States and Territories, with WA and QLD split into two, based on SA3 boundaries, and NSW and ACT combined into one region. The rationale for splitting WA and QLD into two regions is given in the published National Climate Risk Assessment Methodology (https://www.dcceew.gov.au/climate-change/publications/national-climate-risk-assessment).

Regional Development Australia (RDA) is an Australian Government initiative that brings together all levels of government to enhance the growth and development of Australia-C/s regions. national network of RDA committees has been established to achieve this objective.

RD Regions are created and maintained by the Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport to support this initiative.

Notes

The RD Regions (2011) were built from the ABS LG 2011 boundary dataset.

The RDAA spatial dataA is updatedA as new LG boundaries as released by ABS or as RD regional boundaries move.AA

On the 16th of August 2011, the RDAA representation of Lord Howe Island, previously RD Northern Rivers was changed to RD Mid North Coast.A The 2011 dataset has been updated to reflect this change.

NT, Tas and ACT

These states and territories are defined as single RD regions.

SA

RD regions are not completely defined with S LG boundaries, with some RDA regions being defined from the previously existing 2007 South Australia Government Region boundaries.A Thus, the large unincorporated S LG (Outback Communities Authority) is divided between 3 RDAs (see "http://www.planning.sa.gov.au/go/State-Government-Regions">S Government Regions for more information).

NSW

RD South Coast includes the external territory of Jervis Bay.A In previous data releases, Lord Howe Island (part of the ABS Unincorporated NSW) was part ofA RD Northern Rivers. On the 16 of August 2011, Lord Howe Island declared to be represented by Mid North Coast

Norfolk Island IS NOT part of any RDA

VIC

Unincorporated VIC (Snow fields and Islands) have been combined into their surrounding RDAs

WA

The external territories of Christmas Island and Cocos/Keeling Islands are part of RD Mid West Gascoyne.

There was also an amalgamation between the City of Geraldton-Greenough and Shire of Mullewa on the 1st of July 2011A to formA the City of Greater Geraldton.A The LG code for Geraldton-Greenough (53520) was retained for the new City of Greater Geraldton.

Regional boundaries defined for the purpose of reporting COAG Closing the Gap indicators (Aboriginal disadvantage) by WA region. The eight regions are: East Kimberley; West Kimberley; Pilbara; Midwest-Gascoyne; Goldfields-Esperance; Southern; Metro. The regions are aggregated directly from ABS Statistical Areas SA2 and compatible with Regional Development Commission boundaries. Geometry is based on ABS SA2 simplified to reduce the number of coordinates and file size.
