Comments

Geospatial LGA boundary (polygon/shape) uses the five digit code.

Local Government Areas are an ABS Mesh Block approximation of gazetted local government boundaries as defined by each state and territory. ABS approximations of administrative boundaries do not match official legal boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes.

A wide range of Census and non-Census data are available for LGAs, including Estimated Resident Population.

For more details on LGAs refer to the ‘Local Government Areas’ fact sheet available through the ‘ASGS Fact Sheets’ chapter of the ABS Statistical Geography website: https://www.abs.gov.au/geography.
