Travel Zones (TZs) are the geographic units of TPA’s data collection, transport modelling and analysis. They are designed to align as much as possible with current Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) geographic classification for that year, to allow for comparison of different data sources at standard geographies. In order to provide for a similar level of trip generation across zones, TZs are designed to be small in areas with high land use densities and larger in areas of lower density. The key land uses of interest in defining TZs are employment, housing and transport infrastructure. As urban areas change over time, TPA creates a new zoning system in line with each 5-yearly population Census. Digitised boundaries for these zoning systems and equivalences between them, are available to users to undertake spatial analysis. Travel Zones fit within ABS SA2. Note that GMA may change slightly at the boundary to align with ABS geographic classifications. This will not usually impact on the comparison of data over time. 2011 ABS GIS TPA geospatial spatial travel travel zones zones Travel Zone Shape Files in ESRI Format - NSW documentDigital ZIP Travel Zone Shape Files in Mapinfo Format - NSW documentDigital ZIP Travel Zone Shape Files in kmz Format - NSW documentDigital ZIP Concordances between zone systems and other geographies documentDigital ZIP
