Local Government Areas (LGAs) enable the comparison of ABS data with other data collected using Local Government Areas as the geographic reference. Local Government Areas cover incorporated areas of Australia only. Incorporated areas are legally designated parts of a State or Territory over which incorporated local governing bodies have responsibility. The major areas of Australia not administered by incorporated bodies are the northern parts of South Australia, all of the Australian Capital Territory and the Other Territories. These regions are identified as 'Unincorporated' in the ABS Local Government Area structure. The territories of Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island are administered as part of Western Australia at the local government level. |

Local Government Areas (LGAs) are an ABS Mesh Block representation of gazetted local government boundaries as defined by each state and territory. Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes. Officially gazetted Local Government Areas change regularly. The ABS updates approximated Local Government Areas annually. Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs-edition-3/jul2021-jun2026 |
