Thank you Dian. I'm not sure which "update guidelines" you are preparing, I'd love to see a link to our wiki about these data, if that's what you mean (and when they are ready, beyond your preparation and shared with the world, of course!) You mention both administrative divisions and cadastral divisions. The former enter OSM while the latter do not. Well, that's my understanding. It may be that ini Australia these do blur and it is simply "understood" that there are "matches" between admin and cadastral "levels" of boundaries, so admin_level 5, 7 and 9 are appropriate for "certain things." If I'm being noob-ish and blurring what "everybody already knows," please excuse me, I'm not from around there. Maybe one way to say it is "called cadastral because of history, now de facto and de jure administrative." I really don't know. I do want to make sure I'm looking at the right row in the table [1] about what these numbers mean (or maybe look elsewhere...in our wiki? something AU-specific?): For 5, I don't (our wiki doesn't) see anything specific noted For 7, I see "District or Region Border (e.g Perthshire, Fitzroy, Canning, Greater Sydney, Greater Melbourne, etc.)" and For 9, I see "Locality Border (Suburbs or Towns) (ONLY where larger than ABS boundary)" Am I ship-shape here? Where might I discover ACT Districts are admin_level=5? Is there a wiki? Thanks.
