[talk-au] suburb boundaries import - Darwin quirk

[Jeff Price]

I was reminiscing about Darwin via OSM and noticed this boundary quirk.  The 
boundary was created by ABS2006 on 1 Mar 09.  I thought maybe the Casino had 
its own boundary but its actually the creek line.

Franc, I presume this will be an example of the minor touch ups needed polish 
of your great work?  Or will the boundary probably make more sense as the 
nearby suburbs populate and the boundary takes its proper shape?

Jeff.

I only have the licensing contact - I will follow up with her and see if I can 
get a content person.

Hi.

Any thoughts on how to work out the real boundary when the ABS data disagrees 
with commonly known boundaries? 


I don't know why I didn't notice this when I previewed the data, but the ABS 
data shows the boundary for my suburb going right down the middle of my street 
(when I believe it to be one street o 
ver). This puts my house in the next suburb over.

I suspect the ABS data is wrong, but any thoughts on how to find out for sure?

Franc - do you have a contact at the ABS who might be interested in corrections?

Hmm yeah - that looks pretty odd.

It *might* be more sensible once the process has finished, but I'm not
holding my breath. But please make sure
you wait until the upload as finished, as I believe the bulk_upload will get
confuse if things have changed when
it comes back to reuse those borders

cheers
