The ASGS is a cartographic representation of Australia for the purpose of representing statistics. Positional accuracy is an assessment of the closeness of the location of the spatial objects in relation to their true positions on the earth's surface. Positional accuracy for ABS boundaries is dependent on the accuracy of the features they have been aligned to. ABS boundaries are aligned to a number of layers including Geoscape. Boundary coordinates have been rounded to 8 decimal places, equivalent to 1.1132mm at the equator. All ABS boundaries have been generalised to 5cm with a 7.5cm shared boundary tolerance. No "shift" of data as a means of "cartographic enhancement" to facilitate presentation has been employed for any real world feature. Check for dataset completeness. Record count comparison and visual gap analysis.
