New Product for Mapping Australian Boundaries

By on 26 July, 2010

The Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) has launched a new digital product which outlines the official boundaries for a number of different regions.

The new product includes boundaries of local government areas, statistical local areas, statistical divisions, statistical subdivisions, states, statistical districts, major statistical regions, statistical regions and statistical region sectors, as of July 2010.

The digital boundaries are presented in MapInfo Interchange Format and ESRI Shapefile Format and are based on the datum GDA94.

These can be imported directly into MapInfo and other common GIS or desktop mapping packages. The information includes boundaries for the external territories of Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island.

The ASGC is responsible for collecting and disseminating statistics which have a location dimension.
