Product Change Details

Note

The information below is current at the time this report was published. There is a possibility the final release may contain additional changes. These will be described in the associated release report.

Electoral Boundaries

The Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory State Electoral Boundaries will be updated in this Release in preparation for the upcoming territory elections.

Cadastre - New SECTION attribute

From the August release, an additional section attribute will be added to the Cadastre product.

This attribute will be populated for states and territories with a ‘section’ value within their data model, where a ‘section’ value has been identified for a particular cadastre parcel.

Note, the ‘section’ values will continue to apply to the definition of the parcel_id attribute where they exist - this will not change.

The states and territories that may include values for section are the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Victoria.
