PSMA - Administrative Boundaries - Suburbs/Localities (Polygon) August 2018

This layer presents the footprint of Suburbs/Localities in Australia. The locality entity is one of the primary entities as many other datasets refer to localities. Gazetted localities will have one or many polygons defining their boundary. A locality may also have many alias names recorded against it. The data is from the August 2018 release of Administrative Boundaries.

Notes:

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

• Within South Australia, the northern section is unincorporated and no data is available.

Administrative Boundaries data serves as a foundation for several other datasets provided by PSMA as well as being a valuable dataset in its own right. The common geometric base allows users to apply the spatial data to the full extent of coverage. This common infrastructure facilitates data integration with supplementary data supplied in the future.

AURIN has merged the State/Territory based shapefiles into a national dataset.
