SA State Electoral Boundaries - PSMA Administrative Boundaries

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 the PSMA Administrative Boundaries dataset built and maintained by PSMA Australia, using authoritative government data, sourced from the state and territory government mapping agencies and land registries of Australia as well as from the Australian Electoral Commission and Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The full PSMA 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.

As at November 2019, users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing the new Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) in addition to datasets on the GDA94 datum.

For GDA2020 datasets, the name of the zip folder and the root folder (once extracted) include a reference to GDA2020. For GDA94 datasets, the zip and root folder names do not contain the datum name (i.e. they remain the same as previous releases).

For example, the zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries downloaded in GDA2020 for November 2019 looks like this:

   •    NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile_GDA2020; or 
   •    NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat_GDA2020

The zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries in GDA94 for November 2019 looks like this:

   •    NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile; or 
   •    NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat

Irrespective of the datum chosen, files within the respective folder use exactly the same naming structures.
