<b>NEW</b>

We have released a new GDA2020 version of our Foundational Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) datasets which replaces the current GDA94 version. This updated service aligns our spatial data with the national standard, improving accuracy, consistency, and compatibility with modern positioning technologies.

 

The previous service will remain available during the transition period as GDA94 services are retired, but users are encouraged to move to the new GDA2020 service as soon as practical.

Content TitleABS Statistical Areas Level 3 - NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistical Geographical Standard Boundaries SA 3 divides an area of interest throughout the state of NSW on which statistics are collected for purposes under the Census and Statistics Act 1905 (Cth).The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) brings together in one framework all of the regions which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and many other organisations use to collect, release and analyse geographically classified statistics. The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with a coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.The 2016 ASGS will be used for the 2016 Census of Population and Housing and progressively introduced into other ABS data collections. The ABS encourages the use of the ASGS by other organisations to improve the comparability and usefulness of statistics generally, and in analysis and visualisation of statistical and other data.The ABS Structures are a hierarchy of regions developed for the release of ABS statistical information. The main components are as follows:<ul><li>Statistical Areas Level 1</li><li>Statistical Areas Level 2</li><li>Statistical Areas Level 3</li><li>Statistical Areas Level 4</li><li>Regional Boundaries (Local Government Area, Suburb)</li></ul>The Australian Bureau of Statistics Geographical Standard Boundaries - Statistical Areas are used to define geographical areas to support statistical and socio-economic analysis at a state and regional scale. They are useful for analytical purposes within statistical boundaries through the aggregation of a wide swath of data and information.The ABS maintains the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) and the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) for pre-2011 census information.In addition to the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme Australian Bureau of Statistics also provides this data via a web service direct from ABS.Further standards, specifications and classifications can be found at:<a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards">Australian Bureau of Statistics Standards</a><a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/classifications">Australian Bureau of Statistics Classifications</a>The regions defined in the ABS Structures will not change until the next Census in 2021. The Non-ABS Structures are updated only when the ABS considers that there are major changes to the administrative boundaries they represent.Initial Publication Date05/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceAPIFile TypeMap Feature ServiceAttribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:7844WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the <a href="https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/contact_us">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Data ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the <a href="https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/contact_us">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Terms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.Continued spatial upgrades of Administrative Boundaries data.Enhanced access to boundaries via online mechanisms.Further standards, specifications and classifications can be found at:<a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards">Australian Bureau of Statistics Standards</a><a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/classifications">Australian Bureau of Statistics Classifications</a>Data CustodianAustralian Bureau of Statistics ABS House Locked Bag 10 Belconnen ACT 2616Point of ContactPlease contact us via the <a href="https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/contact_us">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a> or contact the ABS directly using the following:Australian Bureau of Statistics 1300 135 070Customised Data and Information on 1300 135 070 Data AggregatorAustralian Bureau of StatisticsABS HouseLocked Bag 10 Belconnen ACT 2616Data DistributorDCS Spatial Services 346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795Additional Supporting Information<a href="https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/publications/information_sheets/data_dictionaries">Data Dictionaries</a>TRIM Number
