The dataset shows list of suburbs/localities and the LGA's they fall within. percentage attribute indicates the percentage by area of the locality within each LGA. Where locality and LGA boundaries do not meet exactly, very small percentages may result.
It is important to note that LGAs and suburbs are not coincident. Suburbs can, and often do, extend beyond LGA boundaries. They are determined using two separate processes. LGAs are assigned under the Local Government Act 1993 and have been proclaimed using either metes and bounds descriptions or registration of public plans in the Registry of Public Surveys. Suburbs and Localities are assigned by the GNB under the provisions of the Geographical Names Act.
In these cases care should be taken when relying solely on the list and visual confirmation is recommended.
