Abstract:
Local Government Areas is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require a geospatial representation of LGA boundaries at both a local and national scale. The attribution provided within Local Government Areas allows for the application of the data across a wide range of commercial, government and research use.Local Government Areas is created through processing LGA data sourced from Australia’s States and Territories. Source attributes are mapped and standardised to provide a coherent definition across the jurisdiction supplies, with associated geometry being cleaned and processed to output a topologically consistent layer of Australia’s LGA boundaries at a national scale. Additional attributes have been generated and integrated by Geoscape to support the jurisdictional information as well as to provide convenience in the use and representation of the dataset. Local Government Areas is updated and released quarterly and has integrated relationships with other Geoscape Products. For full product details see: Local-Government-Areas-Product-Guide-v1.0.pdf (geoscape.com.au)LineageMay 2023 Release- Individual State datasets merged by BOM in ArcGIS Pro with default geoprocessing parameters. This data was subsequently dissolved based upon the LGA_PID field to simplify multi-part polygons into single features. The following features (listed by LGA_PID) have also had their LGA_NAME Field Edited:lga1bf4b9703dd4: Central Coast Council -->Central Coast Council (NSW)lgab848eee26cd6: Central Coast Council -->Central Coast Council (TAS)lgae1e88444b382: Campbelltown City Council --> Campbelltown City Council (NSW)lgae01a99dc2d13: Campbelltown City Council --> Campbelltown City Council (SA)Original Source Data From:Administrative boundaries on data.gov.au

Purpose: Local Government Areas is a spatial representation of the administrative divisions that local governments are responsible for across the country. A Local Government Area (LGA) will typically have an elected council as well as a council leader (e.g. mayor, shire president). Local Government Areas aggregates the representations unique to each jurisdiction into a consistent, seamless representation of the LGA boundaries across Australia.
