Local Government Area (LGA) boundaries for Sydney and surrounds sourced from Data.gov.au.
"Sydney and surrounds" is defined here for convenience as including the "Greater metropolitan Sydney" and "Sydney surrounds" regions listed in the Wikipedia article "Local government areas of New South Wales" accessed 30 September 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_areas_of_New_South_Wales.
The digital Local Government Areas and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each Australian state and territory jurisdiction and are available below.
Local Government Areas are part of the PSMA Administrative Boundaries dataset built and maintained by PSMA Australia, using authoritative government data, sourced from the state and territory government mapping agencies and land registries of Australia as well as from the Australian Electoral Commission and Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The full PSMA Administrative Boundaries dataset contains boundaries in seven themes: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) boundaries, electoral boundaries, state and territory boundaries, local government areas, suburbs/localities, wards and town points.
