NSW State Electoral District Boundaries from 2013 Redistribution

NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme – State Electoral District 2013 is a retired geospatial dataset from Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW. It represents a snapshot of electoral boundaries formalised in the 2013 redistribution and retired before the 2023 state election. The dataset was captured using sources at scales from 1:500 to 1:250,000 and is no longer maintained.

Use Cases

• Analyzing historical electoral district shapes and sizes based on the 2013 boundary snapshot.
• Mapping retired administrative boundaries for comparative studies against current electoral maps.
• Conducting spatial analysis of cadastral alignment at the time of the 2013 boundary capture.

Strengths

• Boundaries were formalised in a specific electoral redistribution event in 2013.
• Positional accuracy is defined per map scale, ranging from 0.25m at 1:500 to 50m at 1:100,000.
• Dataset is part of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) for NSW.

Limitations

• Dataset is retired and no longer maintained, meaning alignment to current cadastral data may not exist.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The spatial reference (WGS 84 ≈ GDA94) may cause misalignments in GDA2020 environments.
