The digital Electoral Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been supplied by the Electoral Commission from each state and territory as well as the Australian Electoral Commission and are available below. These boundaries undergo re-distribution depending on population of the electorate before each election.

Electoral Boundaries are part of Geoscape Administrative Boundaries, which is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available here.

The full Administrative Boundaries dataset contains boundaries in seven themes: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) boundaries, electoral boundaries, state and territory boundaries, local government areas, suburbs/localities, wards and town points.

Notable changes in the August 2024 release

  • An update to the ACT State Electoral Boundaries has been applied to reflect the redistribution of the Legislative Assembly boundaries which had their final determination notification on 14 September 2023 and commenced the day after on 15 September 2023. The boundaries will apply at the ACT Legislative Assembly Election that will be held on 19 October 2024.

Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available here through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Note: Since the decommissioning of National Map, the Administrative Boundaries layers are instead available from the Digital Atlas of Australia. Users can view most of the Admin Boundary layers within Digital Atlas itself or consume the REST webservice feature layer within their own mapping tools.
