I presume the visitor who goes to a regional area and maps it, would be happy for their data to be amended, corrected, as better and more accurate information came to hand, should it come to hand. Regardless of what source that information should come from. The information is in OSM to be edited by users over time. If I visited the regional town, then I would consider myself free to make corrections from my survey. If you want to just keep the ABS data in OSM as a pure copy of the ABS data, and not modify it even where it is obviously supposed to follow the coastline, but just misses it, then what is the point of having it the ABS data contained within the OSM to begin with? It may as well just be a layer outside of it. Ian.
