NSW State Electoral Districts: 2021 Redistribution Boundaries Aligned to Cadastral Data

NSW State Electoral District is a geospatial dataset within the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme of the Foundational Spatial Data Framework. The dataset represents current electoral boundaries formalised in the 2021 redistribution and enacted in the 2023 NSW state election. Spatial Services maintains this dataset relative to the NSW Digital Cadastral Dataset, updating it to reflect improved spatial accuracy from survey plans.

Use Cases

• Mapping electoral district boundaries for the 2023 NSW state election based on the 2021 redistribution.
• Analyzing spatial relationships between electoral districts and property boundaries based on alignment with the cadastral dataset.
• Conducting demographic or political analysis within formal NSW electoral districts.
• Updating other spatial datasets to maintain consistency with the official state electoral boundaries.

Strengths

• Aligned to the national GDA2020 geodetic standard, improving accuracy and compatibility with modern positioning technologies.
• Maintains a positional relationship with the authoritative NSW Digital Cadastral Dataset, ensuring boundary alignment with property data.
• Formalised through a documented 2021 electoral redistribution process and enacted in a 2023 state election.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data currency date is listed as 01/01/3000, which is a placeholder and does not indicate actual freshness.
