They represent distinct communities across the country. Localities aggregates the representations unique to each jurisdiction into a consistent, seamless representation of suburb and locality boundaries across Australia. Localities are integral for addressing and postal distribution purposes.Localities is designed to meet the needs of organisations that require a geospatial representation of suburb and locality boundaries at both a local and national scale. The attribution provided within Localities allows for the application of the data across a wide range of commercial, government and research uses. Localities can also be used to identify the creation of new suburbs.<div style='font-size:1.2019em; margin:0px 0px 0.75em;'>Currency</div>Date Modified: February 2026Modification Frequency: Quarterly<div style='font-size:1.2019em; margin:0px 0px 0.75em;'>Data Extent</div>Coordinate Reference: Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 | GDA2020Spatial ExtentNorth: -8° South: -45° East: 168° West: 96°<div style='font-size:1.2019em; margin:0px 0px 0.75em;'>Source Information</div>The data was obtained from <a href='https://www.data.gov.au/data/dataset/geoscape-administrative-boundaries' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>data.gov.au</a>, is also accessible through <a href='https://geoscape.com.au/capabilities/geoscape-administrative-boundaries/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Geoscape Administrative Boundaries - Geoscape</a> as of August 2025.

Source attributes are mapped and standardised to provide a coherent definition across the jurisdiction supplies, with associated geometry being cleaned and processed to output a topologically consistent layer of Australia’s suburb and locality boundaries at a national scale. Additional attributes have been generated and integrated by Geoscape to support the jurisdictional information as well as to provide convenience in the use and representation of the dataset.
