RWS boundaries are used define the region for which an individual regional water strategy is developed. Regional water strategies will set out a long-term 'roadmap' of actions to deliver five objectives. Options selected for inclusion in the final strategy for each region will need to address at least one of these objectives: Deliver and manage water for local communities, Enable economic prosperity, Recognise and protect Aboriginal cultural values and rights, Protect and enhance the environment, Affordability - Identify least cost policy and infrastructure options. The RWS boundaries are derived from Water Resource Plan (WRP) boundaries for the inland areas. The coastal areas are aligned with the Water Sharing Plan (WSP) boundaries. The Murray RWS boundary is further defined using the Geoscience Australia's geofabric data HR Regions layer. The Murray RWS also needs to include the area for the Wentworth weir pool using the AGHF Catchment layer in the geofabric to select the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool.

Freedom of information statistics

The _Freedom of Information Act 1982_ (Cth) provides a right of access to documents held by Australian Government agencies and ministers. Sometimes a charge may apply to an FOI request, and review mechanisms allow people to appeal decisions on an FOI request if they disagree.

The data below shows the number of requests received since 1982-83 and the amount of charges notified and collected. This data is sourced from data provided to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and previous FOI annual reports prepared each year from 1983 onwards. The 1982-83 data covers only seven months (December 1982 to June 1983), and the data about requests for personal information compared to other requests has only been collected from 2000-01 onwards.

Agencies and ministers are also required to provide to the OAIC quarterly and annual statistical returns on FOI activity, review numbers and estimated costs. The returns data since 2011-12 is available here in CSV format and in a summary Excel spreadsheet. 

In these files a column identified by either 'P' or 'personal' refers to FOI requests for predominantly personal information in relation to the criteria in row 1 above that heading. Similarly the adjacent column to the right identified by 'O' or 'other’ refers to all other FOI requests for that particular criteria. The column immediately adjacent, to the right of 'O' headed by 'T', contains the total of the 'P' and 'O' columns. 

The Excel is optimised for readability and contains additional processing (such as applying a salary multiplier to agency estimated staff time data). Finally, the original survey questions for each year are included: each of the columns in the CSVs can be linked to a survey question asked that year.

Hydro Line 2012 Strahler Stream Order Classification

This dataset represents a stream network (centreline) of features both natural and artificial across NSW, classified using the Strahler Stream Order method, undertaken by the Department in 2013.

This is a legacy, best endeavours dataset based upon a static (2012) copy of the now NSW Department of Customer Services (DCS) | Spatial Services: NSW Hydro Line. Today this data forms part of the NSW Digital Topographic Database and NSW Foundation Data Framework administered by DCS.

Classification of the stream network was completed using the &apos;RivEX&apos; tool (<a href="&amp;apos">www.rivex.co.uk</a>) in combination with ESRI ArcMap by the Departments Geospatial practitioners.

<b>Method</b>

The dataset was initially broken down against 13 Catchment Management Authority (CMA) catchment boundaries (as at 2012), or smaller subsets to aid RivEx processing, which closely aligned to hydrological catchments. The edges of the subsets were checked to ensure hydro lines fell within the correct hydrological unit.

Catchments were processed (classified) in order of stream flow to ensure the order at the end of one catchment was used as the beginning of any it flowed into.

For Victorian and Queensland datasets - any stream that flowed into NSW waterways were extracted (by complete catchment) and processed in exactly the same way as the NSW hydro lines data. Queensland was processed first so the Strahler results could be incorporated in the northern catchments of NSW. Victorian streams were processed before the NSW Murray &amp;amp; Lower Murray Darling areas to ensure continuity of stream order application in NSW. 

 A summarised workflow is provided below: 
<ul><li>Input dataset: 2012 DCS NSW Hydro Line</li><li>Break the input dataset into manageable catchments for processing</li><li>Complete topology checks (ArcMap) on catchment subsets</li><li>Undertake basic hydrological enforcement by flipping geometric line directions where required to align with stream flow / class order direction.</li><li>Run Strahler processing (RivEX)</li><li>Undertake visual quality assurance of results &amp;amp; manually resolve issues.</li><li>Recombine catchments to assemble a statewide dataset</li><li>Output dataset: Hydro Line (2012) Strahler Stream Order Classification NSW</li></ul>

Note: Victorian and Queensland data was also sought (best available) so accurate Strahler assessments at the State borders could be assessed.

SA State Electoral Boundaries - Geoscape Administrative Boundaries

The digital Electoral Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been supplied by the Electoral Commission from each state and territory as well as the Australian Electoral Commission and are available below. 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](https://geoscape.com.au/) using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/).

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.

**Notable changes in the February 2026 release**

* The South Australian State Electoral Boundaries have been updated for this release. These changes reflect the most recent redistribution undertaken by the South Australian Electoral Commission. The updated boundaries will come into effect for the 2026 State Election on Saturday 21 March.

Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/data/administrative-boundaries/) through Geoscape Australia’s network of [partners](https://geoscape.com.au/partners/). They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

NSW Joint Private Works Schemes

A private water scheme is an arrangement among a group of landowners to share the costs and responsibilities of establishing and maintaining a private water system, including pumps, pipelines, channels, and related infrastructure. This asset provides the mapped boundaries of Joint Private Works Schemes in New South Wales, including the parcels within each scheme. In early 2024, NSW Public Works mapped these scheme boundaries within a single spatial (GIS) dataset, using the NSW cadastre reference from February 2024 and a GDA2020 datum. Two types of schemes have been mapped: 1) Private Water Corporations. 2) Private Water Trusts. The scheme boundaries were mapped using the following methods (priority order): (i) Georeferencing images of gazetted maps to the NSW cadastre to align and match boundaries. (ii) Following boundary descriptions in gazettal notices, with georeferencing of near-date Parish Plans and tracing of natural features from NSW Spatial Services imagery. (iii) Using a gazetted schedule of parcels. (iv) Referring to Parish Plans where schemes and trusts were mapped. Collaboration: DCCEEW (Water Group), NSW Public Works, DPI. DPI created the spatial files and PDF documentation.
