abstract

The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is a hierarchical classification system of geographical regions and consists of a number of interrelated structures. The ASGS brings all the regions for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publishes statistics within the one framework and will be used by the ABS for the collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics from the 1 July 2011. It provides a common framework of statistical geography and enables the production of statistics which are comparable and can be spatially integrated.

This product, Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (cat no. 1270.0.55.001), is the first in a series of Volumes that will detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis of the regions of the Main Structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas and their relationship to each other. This product contains several elements including the ASGS manual, maps, codes and names and the digital boundaries current for the ASGS Edition 2011 (date of effect 1 July 2011).

The digital boundaries for Volume 1 of the ASGS are the spatial units for the main structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas. These spatial units are:

Mesh Blocks (MB) Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSA) State and Territory (S/T).
