Abstract A composite of Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in regional areas and Greater Capital City (GCC) boundaries in metropolitan regions. This composite enhances cartographic clarity for larger areas. The dataset’s spatial definition facilitates the demarcation of SA2/SLA/LGA boundaries within study regions of the Greater Metropolitan Region (GMR) in Sydney.

Abstract This dataset comprises a set of Local Government Areas (LGAs) specifically delineated for research purposes pertaining to Sydney. These LGAs are derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data and represent a geospatial framework for studying various aspects of the Sydney metropolitan region. The dataset enables detailed analysis and examination of socio-economic factors, demographic patterns, and urban development within these LGAs, offering valuable insights into the complex dynamics and characteristics of the Greater Sydney area in the year 2006.

Abstract The Melbourne_Greater_2011 dataset is a comprehensive collection of data that adopts the methodology established by Richard Broome’s 2017 consultancy on the Burden from PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less). It encompasses various datasets related to the greater Melbourne region in the year 2011. The dataset provides valuable information for analyzing and assessing the impacts of PM2.5 pollution on public health, environmental quality, and socio-economic factors in the Melbourne area.

Abstract

The Sydney greater metropolitan region air shed, derived from discussion with NSW OEH, and other sources.

This region is chosen for further study, as it exposed to several environmental indicators and contains a large vulnerable population. Our aim is to use this region to gain a better understanding of past, current and future air quality in Greater Sydney, and of the impacts of air pollution on public health and the environment.

Abstract

The column ‘studysite’ groups these SLAs from 2001 ASGC edition into climatically similar regions based on temperature. The original analysis of climate data in the Sydney GMR was conducted by Behnoosh Khalaj and Keith Dear for their paper Khalaj, B., Lloyd, G., Sheppeard, V., & Dear, K. (2010). The health impacts of heat waves in five regions of New South Wales, Australia: a case-only analysis. International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 83(7), 833-842. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00420-010-0534-2 The study focused on five regions in NSW: Sydney East; Sydney West; Gosford- Wyong; Newcastle and Illawarra. Cooler nights in Sydney West and cooler days in Sydney East provided the rationale for dividing Sydney into East and West. Data from Sydney weather stations were used to define two temperature regions (Sydney West and Sydney East) by maximising the ratio of between groups to within- group temperature variance. Statistical local areas (SLA) within Sydney were then assigned to the west and east regions. SLA of residence was used to assign patients to Sydney East, Sydney West, Illawarra, Gosford-Wyong and Newcastle. The average of weather and air pollution observations from all monitoring stations in each region was used. Subsequently Ivan Hanigan based the creation of a new spatial dataset for the Biomass Smoke and Human Health collaboration that included many other cities and towns. That derived dataset contains all the other cities and towns from the biomass smoke and health project, stored at Environment_General/Biomass_Smoke_Validated_Events/biosmoke_spatial/data_provided on the UCRH Q drive. This current Sydney GMR dataset is a subset of that biomass smoke project study regions dataset created by Hanigan, and just shows the Sydney GMR. These data (and the map from Khalaj et al 2010) was also used in the Wilson heat paper: Wilson, L. A. L. A., Gerard Morgan, G., Hanigan, I. C. I. C., Johnston, F. F. H., Abu-Rayya, H., Broome, R., & Jalaludin, B. (2013). The impact of heat on mortality and morbidity in the Greater Metropolitan Sydney Region: a case crossover analysis. Environmental Health : A Global Access Science Source, 12(1), 98. https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-069X-12-98 In October 2019 Ivan used the SA2s (2016 edition) from the Sydney_Airshed_EPA_NSW dataset (also in this Study_Regions project) to create a new shapefile that grouped the Central and Western Sydney regions into a comparable Western Sydney climate zone, and the Eastern, Northern and Southern Sydney subregions were assigned to the Eastern Sydney climate zone therefore bringing the SA2s into line with the older SLA shapefile.

Abstract

This is subregions of western Sydney. It is a derived dataset based on the Sydney_Airshed_EPA_NSW dataset, and a range of other contextual information such as SA3 boundaries, LHDs, LGAs, walkability and air pollution monitors.

The main dataset is based on SA2 2016 boundaries, and there is a dissolved version for display purposes.

The label for West Central Sydney Subregion came from NSW Dept Family and Community: https://www.facs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/333709/WestCentralSydneySubregion_HousingMarket.pdf
