Service Description: AbstractLocal Government Areas is a spatial representation of the administrative divisions that local governments are responsible for across the country. A Local Government Area (LGA) will typically have an elected council as well as a council leader (e.g. mayor, shire president). Local Government Areas aggregates the representations unique to each jurisdiction into a consistent, seamless representation of the LGA boundaries across Australia.Local Government Areas is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require a geospatial representation of LGA boundaries at both a local and national scale. The attribution provided within Local Government Areas allows for the application of the data across a wide range of commercial, government and research uses. Geoscape Australia welcomes your feedback on our Local Government Areas product. We also publish regular updates on the development of our products on the Geoscape website (www.geoscape.com.au).CurrencyDate Modified: May 2025Modification Frequency: QuarterlyData ExtentSpatial ExtentNorth: -8°South: -45°East: 160°West: 112°Source InformationThe data was obtained from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries - Geoscape.
