Description

NSW Suburb is a dataset that represents a gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area.
\u00a0
NSW Suburb is a dataset within the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme (FSDF). It represents a gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area. The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is responsible for new suburbs and major amendments. Local Government Areas are accountable for minor amendments. These minor amendments are still put through the GNB and are carried out under the \u201cMinor position and Extents policy\u201d.

The dataset also contains postcodes that are held against each suburb, sourced and matched from Australia Post. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the Land Parcel and Property theme.

Features are typically positioned in alignment within the extents of the Land Parcel and Property data changes impact this dataset.

Maintained by information sourced from the NSW Geographic Names Board of NSW.

AccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. 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.\u00a0A\u00a0program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing
