Due to the nature of our business, we sometimes have multiple local area profiles that include different geographies, datasets etc. This article explains why you may find two or more apparently different maps/data for the same place.
Q:
Why have you got two different maps for the City of Sydney?
Only one can be right!
A:
Hi, thanks for your query.
The two maps relate to different areas.
The first is the legal Local Government boundary of the City of Sydney, which incorporates a number of suburbs and precincts.
The second is the locality or suburb of “Sydney” within the City of Sydney, which is the central area which can use the address “Sydney”, rather than other suburbs in the municipality (eg. Chippendale, Zetland, Rosebery, Potts Point etc.).
I hope this clears it up!
Regards,
Glenn
