Item Information

snippet: Local Government Areas (LGAs) enables 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. 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 and all of the Australian Capital Territory and the Other Territories. These regions are identified as 'Unincorporated' in the ABS Local Government Area structure. The boundaries produced for Local Government Areas are constructed from allocations of whole Mesh Blocks. The ABS will review the Local Government Areas annually and changes will be applied by inclusion or exclusion of whole Mesh Blocks. Utilising Mesh Blocks to approximate Local Government Areas provides a better outcomes.
