Brief description
The digital Suburb/Locality Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each state and territory jurisdiction and are available below.Suburb/Locality 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 comprises seven Geoscape products:
* Localities
* Local Government Areas (LGAs)
* Wards
* Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries,
* Electoral Boundaries
* State Boundaries and
* Town Points
Updated versions of Administrative Boundaries are published on a quarterly basis.
Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.
** There were no updates in the November 2024 release **
** Notable changes in the August 2021 release: **
* The Localities, Local Government Areas and Wards products have been redesigned to provide a new flattened data model, offering a simpler, easier-to-use structure. This will also:
- change the composition of identifiers in these products.
- provide state identifiers as an abbreviation (eg. NSW) rather than a code.
- remove the static SA “Hundreds” data from Localities.
* More information on the changes to Localities, Local Government Areas and Wards is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Geoscape-LGA-Localities-Wards-Design-Concepts.pdf).
* The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries will be updated to include the 2021 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
* Further information on the August changes to Geoscape datasets is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Product_Change_Notification_August_2021.pdf).
