The NSW Administrative Boundaries Web Service is a dynamic map of administrative and property boundaries. Administrative Areas Boundaries depict a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database maintained by Spatial Services (DCS). The administrative boundaries provided through this web service includes: Counties, Suburbs, Parishes, Local Government Areas, State Forests, National Parks, State Electoral Districts.

NSW Local Government Area spatial boundaries (polygons)

The boundaries of the City of Sydney local government area (LGA) have shifted many times, increasingly since the mid-twentieth century. All of these changes have been decided by the NSW colonial or state governments of the time.

Local Government Area (LGA) boundaries for Sydney and surrounds sourced from Data.gov.au. "Sydney and surrounds" is defined here for convenience as including the "Greater metropolitan Sydney" and "Sydney surrounds" regions listed in the Wikipedia article "Local government areas of New South Wales" accessed 30 September 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_areas_of_New_South_Wales. The digital Local Government Areas and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each Australian state and territory jurisdiction and are available below. Local Government Areas are part of the PSMA Administrative Boundaries dataset built and maintained by PSMA Australia, using authoritative government data, sourced from the state and territory government mapping agencies and land registries of Australia as well as from the Australian Electoral Commission and Australian Bureau of Statistics.

WGS 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 functionality.

This dataset is part of the Geographical repository maintained by Opendatasoft. This dataset contains data for Local Government Areas in Australia.The ASGS Local Government Areas are an ABS approximation of gazetted local government boundaries as defined by each State and Territory Local Government Department. Local Government Areas cover incorporated areas of Australia. Incorporated areas are legally designated parts of a State or Territory over which incorporated local governing bodies have responsibility. The major areas of Australia not administered by incorporated bodies are the northern parts of South Australia, and all of the Australian Capital Territory and the Other Territories. These regions are identified as ‘Unincorporated’ in the ASGS Local Government Areas structure.More information on local governments can be found at the Australian Local Government Association website: http://www.alga.asn.au The suffix on Long Official Name Local Government Area indicates the Local Government Area status: Cities (C), Areas (A), Rural Cities (RC), Boroughs (B), Shires (S), Towns (T), Regional Councils (R), Municipalities/Municipal Councils (M), District Councils (DC), Regional Councils (RegC), Aboriginal Councils (AC).Processors and tools are using this data.EnhancementsAdd ISO 3166-3 codes.Simplify geometries to provide better performance across the services.

Local Land Services brings together agricultural production advice, biosecurity, natural resource management and emergency management into a single organisation. Department of Primary Industries' extension arm, Catchment Management Authorities (CMA) and Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA). Eleven LLS regions, managed by 11 local boards cover NSW: Central Tablelands, Central West, Greater Sydney, Hunter, Murray, North Coast, Northern Tablelands, North West, Riverina, South East and Western regions. Local Land Services regional boundaries were determined in 2013 following extensive community consultation. Each LLS region is a collation of Local Government Areas (LGA), with four exceptions where the LGA is split across two LLS regions. Those exceptions occur in Bogan, Carrathool, Hay and Jerilderie local council areas. www.lls.nsw.gov.au/our-regions/whats-my-region LLS boundaries supercede the former CMA boundaries Dataset History Local Land Services regional boundaries were determined in 2013 following extensive community consultation.

NSW Local Government Area is a dataset within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). It depicts polygons of gazetted boundaries defining the Local Government Area. It contains all of the cadastral line data or topographic features which are used to define the boundaries between adjoining shires, municipalities, cities (Local Government Act) and the unincorporated areas of NSW. The dataset also contains Council Names, ABS Codes, Ito Codes, Vg Codes, and Wb Codes. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the DCDB.

Ward boundaries within the City of Sydney local government area (LGA) have shifted many times, dramatically affecting the number and character of people entitled to vote. The redrawing of ward boundaries was largely undertaken to redress imbalances as the demographic makeup of the City changed over time. The polygon layer represents the boundaries of each ward and table lists the corresponding assessment books. This data is part of the historic ward boundaries story map.

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. ** There were no updates in the August 2024 release ** Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available here through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners.

The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived. LGA extracted for the Hunter subregion The digital boundaries for this edition of the ASGC are consistent with the spatial units described in the structures of the ASGC 2011. Date of effect of this edition is 1 July 2011. Digital boundaries are for Statistical Local Area (SLA), Statistical Subdivision (SSD), Statistical Division (SD), Local Government Area (LGA), Statistical District (SDIST), Major Statistical Region (MSR), Statistical Region (SR), Statistical Region Sector (SRS) and State/Territory (STE). This is the final edition of the ASGC. To assist in the transition to the new Statistical Geography, the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), the 2011 SLAs have been aggregated up from the 2011 Mesh Blocks (MB). The 2011 MBs are also the building blocks for the 2011 ASGS.
