That's a shame. A couple of years ago I had an email conversation with someone from the Lands Department and got permission to 'Derive Suburb Boundaries' - however when I thought about the conversation more deeply I came to the conclusion that it probably wasn't ok as he had probably got a bogus understanding of the OSM license (as I did not understand it that well at the time).
Unfortunately, when I went back to contact him he seems to have disappeared. cheers On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 4:45 PM, Ben Kelley <ben.kel...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi. > > No I haven't found a good source of boundaries.
