- Description
-
State Suburbs (SSCs) are an ABS approximation of localities gazetted by the Geographical Place Name authority in each State and Territory (S/T). Since 1996 these boundaries have been formalised for most areas of Australia through a program coordinated by the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA) under the umbrella of the Intergovernmental Committee On Surveying and Mapping (ISCM). SSCs are built from Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) that, singly or in combination, form an approximation of Gazetted Localities.
In the context of SSCs, ‘Suburb’ covers suburbs in urban areas and localities in rural areas.
SSCs cover most of Australia. Presently there remain areas of rural South Australia and rural Australian Capital Territory that are undefined. Various islands offshore from New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania and some inshore water areas and islands are also undefined.
