This dataset is the Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) boundaries as defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas, July 2016. For the original data and more information, refer to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Issue. 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 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) brings together in one framework all of the regions which the ABS and many others organisations use to collect, release and analyse geographically classified statistics. The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with an coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.

An Ontology for the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), a framework of statistical areas used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and other organisations to enable the publication of statistics that are comparable and spatially integrated. This ontology contains the definitions for the ABS Structures which are areas that the ABS designs specifically for outputting statistics.

Mesh Blocks are the smallest geographic areas defined by the ABS and form the building blocks for the larger regions of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). They broadly identify land use such as residential, commercial, primary production and parks. All other statistical areas or regions are built up from or, approximated by whole Mesh Blocks.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Mesh BlocksFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical AreasSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Remoteness Areas divide Australia into five classes of remoteness on the basis of a measure of relative access to services. The five remoteness classes are: Major Cities, Inner Regional, Outer Regional, Remote and Very Remote. Remoteness Areas are derived from the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia Plus (ARIA+) produced by the University of Adelaide.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Defining Remoteness AreasFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Remoteness StructuresSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1s) are geographic areas built from whole Mesh Blocks. Most SA1s have a population of between 200 to 800 people. Whole SA1s aggregate to form Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s). SA1s are designed to maximise the geographic detail available for Census of Population and Housing data. However, limited Census of Population and Housing data may also be available at the Mesh Block level for ASGS Edition 3. SA1s are also used as the building blocks for some ASGS geographies, including the Indigenous Structure, Significant Urban Areas, Urban Centres and Localities, Section of State Structure, and the Remoteness Structure.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3Geographic boundary information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Statistical Area Level 1Further information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical AreasSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4s) are geographic areas built from whole Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3s). Most SA4s have a population of over 100,000 people. SA4s are the largest sub-state regions in the Main Structure of the ASGS and are designed for the output of a variety of regional data, including data from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing. SA4 boundaries represent labour markets and the functional area of Australian capital cities respectively. They are designed with an emphasis on stability over time to support the time series of statistical releases such as the Quarterly Labour Force publication. These areas represent labour markets or groups of labour markets within each state and territory.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Statistical Area Level 4Further information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical AreasSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2s) are medium-sized general purpose areas built up from whole Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1s). Most SA2s have a population range of 3,000 to 25,000 people. Their purpose is to represent a community that interacts together socially and economically. SA2s are generally the smallest areas used for the release of ABS non-Census of Population and Housing statistics, including Estimated Resident Population and Health and Vitals data. Whole SA2s aggregate to form Statistical Areas Level 3 (SA3s). SA2s are also used to build Significant Urban Areas and to approximate Tourism Regions.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Statistical Area Level 2Further information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical AreasSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

The ASGS State and Territory boundaries are a cartographic representation of legally designated boundaries and therefore should not be used for legal purposes. In general, the total area of each State and Territory, including their offshore islands, is used for statistical purposes as a separate geographic area in the ASGS. However, the Jervis Bay Territory, and the Territories of Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island are included as one geographic area at the State and Territory level under the category of Other Territories. States and Territories consist of one or more Statistical Areas Level 4 (SA4). In aggregate, they cover Australia without gaps or overlaps.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Australia and State/TerritoryFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical AreasSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Section of State Range (SOSR) groups together Urban Centres and Localities (UCLs) into comparable classes based on the population of the UCL according to the 2021 Census of Population and Housing. This classification further breaks down Section of State categories and correspondingly enables the comparison of similar sized UCLs using a range of Census data.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3Geographic boundary information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Section of State RangeFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Significant Urban Areas, Urban Centres and Localities, Section of StateSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Local Government Areas (LGA) are an ABS Mesh Block approximation of gazetted local government boundaries as defined by each state and territory. ABS approximations of administrative boundaries do not match official legal boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes. There are 566 Local Government Areas covering the whole of Australia, including unincorporated areas, without gaps or overlaps. This incorporates 19 non-spatial special purpose codes including one Outside Australia code.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3Geographic boundary information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Local Government AreasFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 - Non ABS StructuresSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.
