The Administrative Boundaries theme from the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) is a collection of legislative, regulatory, political, maritime, and general administrative boundaries for New South Wales, Australia. It includes boundaries for Parish, County, Suburb, Local Government Area, State Electoral District, and Federal Electoral Division.
