NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme
Please Note
WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94
This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in
misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a
‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈
GDA2020 environments.
In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended
that the original service name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.

Content TitleNSW Administrative Boundaries ThemeContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Administrative Boundaries theme from NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) is a collection of legislative, regulatory, political, maritime and general administrative boundaries sourced from local and state boundary datasets.They include:Parish
CountySuburbLocal Government AreaState Electoral DistrictFederal Electoral DivisionMines Subsidence District NSW Parks and Wildlife Service ReserveState ForestState BorderDomestic Water Front PrecinctThe Administrative Boundaries theme is used to show administrative areas that represent:Voting DistrictsRedistributionsZoning
Socio-Economic analysisRegional PlanningService DistributionLocal and State Government BoundariesIn addition, Administrative Boundaries can also be used for analysis and to look at trends over time. Administrative boundary data in combination with geo-coded address data, demographic information and agency specific business information underpins the ability to perform high quality spatial analysis.The use of this data in combination with other data includes:Evidence-based development and assessment of government policyProviding the ability to undertake spatial accountingRegional analysis for government, health, education, business and a range of other purposesSupport for emergency managementMarket catchment analysis, micromarketing, customer analysis and market segmentationEmergency management.

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 to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.

Available as either cache or non-cache, depending on client use or requirement.Information about the Feature Class and Domain Name descriptions for the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme can be found in the NSW Cadastral Data Dictionary.Some of Spatial Services Datasets are designed to work together for example NSW Address Point and NSW Address String (table), NSW Property (Polygon) and NSW Property Lot (table) and NSW Lot (polygons). To do this you need to add a Spatial Join.A Spatial Join is a GIS operation that affixes data from one feature layer’s attribute table to another from a spatial perspective.To see how NSW Address, Property, Lot Geometry data and tables can be spatially joined, download the Data Model Document.
