Level 9 appears to have been intended for non-ABS derived suburbs and
level 10 for ABS. What's happened is 10 has been used for suburbs.
Do we have any data for bounded localities smaller than suburbs? I don't
know of any jurisdiction that defines sub-suburb areas, so I don't see
the point of moving away from 10.
Commonwealth Electoral Boundaries (I don't think should be included in OSM)
State Electoral Boundaries (I don't think should be included in OSM)
State Boundaries
Agree.
admin_level 6 LGAs
It looks like NSW, VIC have complete LGA coverage already aside a few minor
differences, but NT is patchy and TAS, QLD, WA are almost non-existent (ACT
doesn't really have LGAs it's all managed by the Territory).
Given that we have previously only had data for SA/Vic/NSW any other
data would have come from sources we were not allowed to use.
admin_level 7 is a mixed bag, but the PSMA data won't help here
That's more a problem with the rather vague definition of what level 7
is supposed to be.
suburbs/localities
NSW, VIC, SA all have pretty much complete data in OSM but there are a
number of differences with the PSMA data which should warrant investigation
and correction.
That's a bit of understatement for Vic. I checked the Vicmap suburbs
with what's in OSM and it's not good. Currently we have ~1600 suburbs in
OSM but there are ~3000 suburbs in Vicmaps/PSMA. It would appear that
somewhere between ABS2011 and ABS2016 the number of Victorian suburbs
almost doubled.
So I guess the question is should we
I know that some people don't like having the admin boundaries in OSM. I
find that having the suburb/locality boundaries is useful (downloading
data by area and geo-referencing in Nominatim). The LGA boundaries less
so as most people don't really think very much about their local council
and it's odd to see it appear in an address for example. But that said
if you do the suburbs you might as well do the LGAs.
how should we do that.
Import.
Is anyone interested in working on this?
I am.
If people are, I think it should go through the proper import process (discuss
first,
identify the process and then execute).
You're preaching to the choir here. Amen to that.
