A national network of RDA committees has been established to achieve this objective. RDA Regions are created and maintained by the Dept. of Infrastructure and Regional Development to support this initiative. Notes The RDA Regions (2015-16) were built from the ABS/PSMA LGA 2015 boundary dataset. The RDA spatial data is updated as new LGA boundaries are released by ABS or as RDA regional boundaries move. On the 16th of August 2011, the RDA representation of Lord Howe Island, previously RDA Northern Rivers was changed to RDA Mid North Coast. The 2011 dataset was updated to reflect this change. NT, Tas and ACT These states and territories are defined as single RD regions. West Daly RC, which deamalgamated from Victoria-Daly RC was added 1/7/14. In Tas, Macquarie Island is part of the Huon Valley LGA (due to historical decisions) SA RDA regions are not completely defined within LGA boundaries, with some RDA regions being defined from the previously existing 2007 South Australia Government Region boundaries. Thus, the large unincorporated LGA (Outback Communities Authority) is divided between 3 RDAs (see SA Government Regions for more information). More work has also been done on identifying Outback Community Authority islands (which have been incorporated into their respective RDA's) NSW RDA South Coast includes the external territory of Jervis Bay. In previous data releases, Lord Howe Island (part of the ABS Unincorporated NSW) was part of RDA Northern Rivers. On the 16 of August 2011, Lord Howe Island was to be represented by Mid North Coast and is under the control of the LHI Board. Norfolk Island IS NOT YET part of any RDA There has also been more work around Sydney Harbour identifying NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Sydney Harbour Trust Islands. The remainder of Unincorporated NSW now falls under the control of NSW Trade and Investment: Crown Lands VIC Unincorporated VIC (Snow fields and Islands) have been combined into their surrounding RDA's WA The external territories of Christmas Island and Cocos/Keeling Islands are part of RD Mid West Gascoyne. Rottnest Is has been separated from the City of Cockburn (as it is governed by an Authority), and Carnac, Edwards and Lancelin Islands have been identified as falling under the control of DPaW. There was also an amalgamation between the City of Geraldton-Greenough and Shire of Mullewa on the 1st of July 2011 to form the City of Greater Geraldton. The LGA code for Geraldton-Greenough (53520) was retained for the new City of Greater Geraldton. QLD On the 1/1/14, 4 councils deamalgamated. Mareeba Shire reformed from Tablelands Regional, Douglas Shire reformed from Cairns Regional, Livingstone Shire from Rockhampton Regional and Noosa Shire from Sunshine Coast Regional. LGA boundaries had minor adjustments from the 2007 boundaries, but there were no changes to the RDA boundaries.

In September 2021, the NSW Government announced the $5 billion WestInvest Program, designed to fund transformational infrastructure projects that support community amenity and liveability. In January 2022, the NSW Government commissioned the Centre for Western Sydney (Western Sydney University) to undertake a review of existing liveability data sources, and identify and define a set of macro (high level) metrics for the elements of liveability which are likely be impacted by the WestInvest Program. This report provides the outcome of a resulting study which identified 14 liveability metrics and assessed potential liveability outcomes of the WestInvest Program for the 15 WestInvest LGAs, the WestInvest region as a whole and the Greater Sydney region. This dataset is privately archived with Western Sydney University. To discuss the data, please contact the author Rae Dufty-Jones r.dufty-jones@westernsydney.edu.au ORCID 0000-0002-1667-331X.

Despite the wide acceptance of Failure-to-Rescue (FTR) as a patient safety indicator (defined as the deaths among surgical patients with treatable complications), no study has explored the geographic variation of FTR in a large health jurisdiction. Our study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal variations of FTR rates across New South Wales (NSW), Australia. We conducted a population-based study using all admitted surgical patients in public acute hospitals during 2002–2009 in NSW, Australia. We developed a spatiotemporal Poisson model using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) methods in a Bayesian framework to obtain area-specific adjusted relative risk. Local Government Area (LGA) was chosen as the areal unit. LGA-aggregated covariates included age, gender, socio-economic and remoteness index scores, distance between patient residential postcode and the treating hospital, and a quadratic time trend. We studied 4,285,494 elective surgical admissions in 82 acute public hospitals over eight years in NSW. Around 14% of patients who developed at least one of the six FTR-related complications (58,590) died during hospitalization. Of 153 LGAs, patients who lived in 31 LGAs, accommodating 48% of NSW patients at risk, were exposed to an excessive adjusted FTR risk (10% to 50%) compared to the state-average. They were mostly located in state's centre and western Sydney. Thirty LGAs with a lower adjusted FTR risk (10% to 30%), accommodating 8% of patients at risk, were mostly found in the southern parts of NSW and Sydney east and south. There were significant spatiotemporal variations of FTR rates across NSW over an eight-year span. Areas identified with significantly high and low FTR risks provide potential opportunities for policy-makers, clinicians and researchers to learn from the success or failure of adopting the best care for surgical patients and build a self-learning organisation and health system.

The study area is Council’s 10.9 km2 LGA and this area contains 18 separate catchments. These 18 catchments have been consolidated into 4 hydraulic modelling extents. The area includes the suburbs of Cammeray, Cremorne, Cremorne Point, Crows Nest, Kirribilli, Kurraba Point, Lavender Bay, McMahons Point, Milsons Point, NeutralBay, North Sydney and Waverton. The study area is highly urbanised, with approximately 58% of the LGA zoned for residential use, 9% for commercial and industrial use, 19% for open space areas (including parks, recreational areas and environmental conservation) and 14% for special purpose. Special purpose areas within the study area include schools, classified infrastructure and Commonwealth Government land such as Kirribilli House. Modelling has been carried out for all catchments. All main flow elements are represented including creek flow, overland flow and pit/pipe flow interactions. The statistical analysis of rainfall to determine design rainfall magnitudes and probabilities was sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology. From this, design flood behaviour has been modelled for various design rainfall events, from the 20% AEP event to the Probable Maximum Flood. Various design rainfall durations have been examined and critical durations identified.
Impervious surfaces were derived from two existing mapping products, producing six classes of impervious area: Buildings, Roads, Railways, Roads and Railways, Airports and Aerodromes, Stormwater Infrastructure. Impervious Surfaces associated with buildings were derived from the Geoscape® Buildings Theme, which provides polygon representations of every building in Australia with a roof area equal to or greater than 9m2. Building polygons from the Greater Sydney Region were extracted and used to create the ‘Buildings’ feature. Impervious Surfaces not associated with buildings were derived from the NSW Land Use Map 2017 (inclusive of the draft Land Use Mapping for the Sydney Metropolitan Region), which provides land use mapping for NSW at a 1:10,000 reliability scale, based on the Australian Land Use and Management Classification Code. This layer was used to generate the Roads, Railways, Roads and Railways (polygons reclassified during QC) Airports and Aerodromes, and Stormwater Infrastructure features. Once both sets of features had been generated, they were intersected with LGA to aid in computation and provide additional map utility. Following this, any overlap between the Buildings features and the Land Use features was corrected using the Erase Function, before the layers were combined using the union function, and dissolved by LGA and feature class to provide LGA-level breakdowns of the prevalence and providence of impervious areas.

Air temperature in complex urban terrain can vary. A large proportion of this variation originates from differences in thermal characteristics of materials that together make up the terrain. While roads and buildings can lead to higher temperatures in urban landscapes, trees and other green urban infrastructure can provide cooling. Hence, depending on the type, make and proportion of urban infrastructure (e.g. grey, green, blue), air temperatures will vary.
During the summer of 2023-2024, a total of 127 air temperature and relative humidity sensors recorded data every 10 minutes between 9 December 2023 and 6 March 2024 in and around the Local Government Area (LGA) of Sydney. This generated 1,5 million of individual measurements in two streams. Stream 1 covers the microclimate across the entire LGA, while Stream 2 contains data recorded for special case studies. All sensors were installed on trees, 2.5 - 3.0 m above the ground.
The associated research report includes detailed methodology, analysis of results, and the heat maps generated for the LGA, as well as conclusions and recommendations.
This dataset contains data from Stream 1 as .xlsx file: description of the data (spreadsheet 1) and air temperatures recorded in 92 (spreadsheet 2) and relative humidity in 32 locations across the LGA (spreadsheet 2). Spreadsheets 2 and 3 were also provided as csv file.
This dataset provides measurement locations, physical address, geographic location, species name, height and canopy density of trees at each location (n = 92). Where available, temperature data represent mean and absolute maximum and minimum values measured at each location. Stream 1 dataset was split into early and late summer due to large number of missing loggers.
Data Note: Tair (°C) = air temperature measured in degrees Celsius, and the time and date are in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).

Household Travel Survey (HTS) is the most comprehensive source of personal travel data for the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area (GMA). This data explores average weekday travel patterns for residents in Sydney GMA.
The Household Travel Survey (HTS) collects information on personal travel behaviour. The study area for the survey is the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area (GMA) which includes Sydney Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA), parts of Illawarra and Hunter regions. All residents of occupied private dwellings within the Sydney GMA are considered within scope of the survey and are randomly selected to participate. The HTS has been running continuously since 1997/981 and collects data for all days through the year – including during school and public holidays.
Typically, approximately 2,000-3,000 households participate in the survey annually. Data is collected on all trips made over a 24-hour period by all members of the participating households.
Annual estimates from the HTS are usually produced on a rolling basis using multiple years of pooled data for each reporting year2. All estimates are weighted to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Estimated Resident Population, corresponding to the year of collection3. Unless otherwise stated, all reported estimates are for an average weekday.
Due to disruptions in data collection resulting from the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, post-COVID releases of HTS data are based on a lower sample size than previous HTS releases. To ensure integrity of the results and mitigate risk of sampling errors some post-COVID results have been reported differently to previous years. Please see below for more information on changes to HTS post-COVID (2020/21 onwards).
Data collection for the HTS was suspended during lock-down periods announced by the NSW Government due to COVID-19.
Exceptions apply to the estimates for 2020/21 which are based on a single year of sample as it was decided not to pool the sample with data collected pre-COVID-19.
HTS population estimates are also slightly lower than those reported in the ABS census as the survey excludes overseas visitors and those in non-private dwellings.
Changes to HTS post-COVID (2020/21 onwards)
HTS was suspended from late March 2020 to early October 2020 due to the impact and restrictions of COVID-19, and again from July 2021 to October 2021 following the Delta wave of COVID-19. Consequently, both the 2020/21 and 2021/22 releases are based on a reduced data collection period and smaller samples.
Due to the impact of changed travel behaviours resulting from COVID-19 breaking previous trends, HTS releases since 2020/21 have been separated from pre-COVID-19 samples when pooled. As a result, HTS 2020/21 was based on a single wave of data collection which limited the breadth of geography available for release. Subsequent releases are based on pooled post-COVID samples to expand the geographies included with reliable estimates.
Disruption to the data collection during, and post-COVID has led to some adjustments being made to the HTS estimates released post-COVID:
SA3 level data has not been released for 2020/21 and 2021/22 due to low sample collection. LGA level data for 2021/22 has been released for selected LGAs when robust Relative Standard Error (RSE) for total trips are achieved Mode categories for all geographies are aggregated differently to the pre-COVID categories Purpose categories for some geographies are aggregated differently across 2020/21 and 2021/22. A new data release – for six cities as defined by the Greater Sydney Commission - is included since 2021/22. Please refer to the Data Document for 2022/23 (PDF, 262.54 KB) for further details.
RELEASE NOTE
The latest release of HTS data is 15 May 2025. This release includes Region, LGA, SA3 and Six Cities data for 2023/24. Please see 2023/24 Data Document for details.
A revised dataset for LGAs and Six Cities for HTS 2022/23 data has also been included in this release on 15 May 2025. If you have downloaded HTS 2022/23 data by LGA and/or Six Cities from this link prior to 15/05/2025, we advise you replace it with the revised tables. If you have been supplied bespoke data tables for 2022/23 LGAs and/or Six Cities, please request updated tables.
Revisions to HTS data may be made on previously published data as new sample data is appended to improve reliability of results. Please check this page for release dates to ensure you are using the most current version or create a subscription (https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/subscriptions) to be notified of revisions and future releases.
