Geoscape G-NAF is the geocoded address database for Australian businesses and governments. It’s the trusted source of geocoded address data for Australia with over 50 million contributed addresses distilled into 15.4 million G-NAF addresses. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using independently examined and validated government data. \r \r From 22 August 2022, Geoscape Australia is making G-NAF available in an additional simplified table format. G-NAF Core makes accessing geocoded addresses easier by utilising less technical effort.\r \r G-NAF Core will be updated on a quarterly basis along with G-NAF.\r \r Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available here.\r \r With more than 15 million Australian physical address record, G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals.\r \r Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Previous versions are available here\r \r Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.\r \r Changes in the February 2025 release\r \r * Nationally, the February 2025 update of G-NAF shows an overall increase of 47,284 addresses (0.30%).

What to Expect When You Download G-NAF\r

\r G-NAF is a complex and large dataset (approximately 5GB unpacked), consisting of multiple tables that will need to be joined prior to use. The dataset is primarily designed for application developers and large-scale spatial integration. Users are advised to read the technical documentation, including product change notices and the individual product descriptions before downloading and using the product. A quick reference guide on unpacking the G-NAF is also available.\r \r

Please note this dataset is the most recent version of the Administrative Boundaries (AB). For previous versions of the AB please go to this url: https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-b4ad5702-ea2b-4f04-833c-d0229bfd689e/details?q=previous

Geoscape Administrative Boundaries is Australia’s most comprehensive national collection of boundaries, including government, statistical and electoral boundaries. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available here.

This dataset comprises seven Geoscape products:

• Localities
• Local Government Areas (LGAs)
• Wards
• Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries
• Electoral Boundaries
• State Boundaries and
• Town Points

Updated versions of Administrative Boundaries are published on a quarterly basis.

Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.

Notable changes in the February 2025 release

• There have been spatial changes (area) greater than 1 km2 to the localities ‘Koombooloomba’, ‘Isisford’, ‘Ilfracombe’ and ‘Glen Ruth’ in Queensland.

  • There have been spatial changes (area) greater than 1 km2 to the localities ‘Birdwood’ and ‘Forreston’ in South Australia.

• Three new wards ‘Central Ward’, ’East Ward’ and ’West Ward’ have been added in Northern Territory.

  • ‘Anindilyakwa Ward’ has been retired in Northern Territory.

IMPORTANT NOTE: correction of issues with the 22 November 2022 release

• On 28 November 2022, the Administrative Boundaries dataset originally released on 22 November 2022 was amended and re-uploaded after Geoscape identified some issues with the original data for 'Electoral Boundaries'.
• As a result of the error, some shapefiles were published in 3D rather than 2D, which may affect some users when importing data into GIS applications.
• The error affected the Electoral Boundaries dataset, specifically the Commonwealth boundary data for Victoria and Western Australia, including 'All States'.
• Only the ESRI Shapefile formats were affected (both GDA94 and GDA2020). The MapInfo TAB format was not affected.
• Because the datasets are zipped into a single file, once the error was fixed by Geoscape all of Administrative Boundaries shapefiles had to be re-uploaded, rather than only the affected files.
• If you downloaded either of the two Administrative Boundary ESRI Shapefiles between 22 November and 28 November 2022 and plan to use the Electoral Boundary component, you are advised to download the revised version dated 28 November 2022. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available here or through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Note: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia.

The Australian Government has negotiated the release of Administrative Boundaries to the whole economy under an open CCBY 4.0 licence.

These boundaries undergo re-distribution depending on population of the electorate before each election. Electoral Boundaries are part of Geoscape Administrative Boundaries, which is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available here. The full Administrative Boundaries dataset contains boundaries in seven themes: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) boundaries, electoral boundaries, state and territory boundaries, local government areas, suburbs/localities, wards and town points. As at November 2019, users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing the new Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) in addition to datasets on the GDA94 datum. For GDA2020 datasets, the name of the zip folder and the root folder (once extracted) include a reference to GDA2020. For GDA94 datasets, the zip and root folder names do not contain the datum name (i.e. they remain the same as previous releases). For example, the zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries downloaded in GDA2020 for November 2019 looks like this: • NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile_GDA2020; or • NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat_GDA2020 The zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries in GDA94 for November 2019 looks like this: • NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile; or • NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat Irrespective of the datum chosen, files within the respective folder use exactly the same naming structures. ** Notable changes in the August 2024 release ** An update to the ACT State Electoral Boundaries has been applied to reflect the redistribution of the Legislative Assembly boundaries which had their final determination notification on 14 September 2023 and commenced the day after on 15 September 2023. The boundaries will apply at the ACT Legislative Assembly Election that will be held on 19 October 2024. Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available here through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

This dataset is the June 2022 release of Geoscape Planning for a single SA2 area (Sydney) with SA2 code (11337). Planning provides detailed planning zone codes and descriptions for parcels of land across Australia. By representing the detailed planning classification for each parcel as well as links to the relevant planning scheme/instrument. Planning provides a simple lookup for the classification on sites nationally, as well as linkages to enable further understanding of a site's potential. Planning is created through combining Geoscape Australia's Cadastre product with Planning Zones defined by a State, Territory or Local Government. For more information regarding Geoscape Planning, please refer to the Data Product Description and the June 2022 Release Notes. Please note: As per the licence for this data, the information is limited to a single Level 2 Statistical Area (SA2) mentioned above as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. If you require additional data beyond a single SA2 for your research, please request a quote from AURIN. Planning zones provide a method to divide land and describe the types of development that may occur at a location, and often describe other developmental requirements such as the height, setback or form of the structures that can be built. Planning zones allow State, Territory and local Governments to facilitate urban planning and control the development of land. Through representing the planning classification from a planning zone at a Cadastre cadastral parcel level, Planning provides a granular representation of the potential for development at each site, alongside URL linkages to enable further research directly from the authoritative definition. This dataset has been restricted to the Sydney - Haymarket - The Rocks SA2 by AURIN. AURIN has extracted the selected SA2 area information from this dataset through using geometries from the May 2022 Geoscape Cadastre release. The dataset, therefore, is a tabular dataset for the selected SA2 area.
