VIC State Boundary - Geoscape Administrative Boundaries

The digital State Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each state and territory jurisdiction and are available below.\r\n\r\nState Boundaries are part of Geoscape Administrative Boundaries, which is built and maintained by [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/) using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/).\r\n\r\nThe full Administrative Boundaries dataset contains boundaries in seven themes: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) boundaries, electoral boundaries, state and territory boundaries, local government areas, suburbs/localities, wards and town points.\r\n\r\nAs at November 2019, users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing the new Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) in addition to datasets on the GDA94 datum.\r\n\r\nFor GDA2020 datasets, the name of the zip folder and the root folder (once extracted) include a reference to GDA2020. For GDA94 datasets, the zip and root folder names do not contain the datum name (i.e. they remain the same as previous releases).\r\n\r\nFor example, the zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries downloaded in GDA2020 for November 2019 looks like this:\r\n\r\n •\tNOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile_GDA2020; or \r\n •\tNOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat_GDA2020\r\n\r\nThe zip and root folder for Administrative Boundaries in GDA94 for November 2019 looks like this: \r\n\r\n •\tNOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile; or \r\n •\tNOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat\r\n\r\nIrrespective of the datum chosen, files within the respective folder use exactly the same naming structures.\r\n\r\nFurther information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/data/administrative-boundaries/) through Geoscape Australia’s network of [partners](https://geoscape.com.au/partners/). They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.\r\n\r\nNote: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia. \r\n\r\n## License Information\r\n\r\nThe Australian Government has negotiated the release of Administrative Boundaries to the whole economy under an [open CCBY 4.0 license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).\r\n\r\nUsers must only use the data in ways that are consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles issued under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).\r\n\r\n**Users must also note the following attribution requirements:**\r\n\r\n_Preferred attribution for the Licensed Material:_\r\n\r\n> _Administrative Boundaries © [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/) licensed by the Commonwealth of Australia under_ [_Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0)_](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).\r\n\r\n_Preferred attribution for Adapted Material:_\r\n\r\n> _Incorporates or developed using Administrative Boundaries © [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/) licensed by the Commonwealth of Australia under_ [_Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0)_](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

本次提供的数字化州界及其法定标识符，均源自各州及领地司法辖区的地籍数据，详情如下。

州界属于地理空间澳大利亚行政边界（Geoscape Administrative Boundaries）数据集的一部分，该数据集由地理空间澳大利亚（Geoscape Australia）依托权威政府数据构建并维护。有关行政边界数据集贡献方的更多信息，可访问[此处](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/)查阅。

完整的行政边界数据集涵盖七大主题的边界数据：澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）边界、选举区边界、州与领地边界、地方政府辖区、郊区/街区、选区以及城镇点位。

截至2019年11月，用户可选择下载采用新版澳大利亚地心坐标系2020（Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020, GDA2020）的要素坐标数据集，同时也可获取基于GDA94坐标系的数据集。

针对GDA2020坐标系数据集，其压缩包文件夹及解压后的根文件夹名称均包含GDA2020标识；而GDA94坐标系数据集的压缩包与根文件夹名称则不包含坐标系名称（即与过往发布版本保持一致）。

示例如下：
• NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile_GDA2020；或
• NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat_GDA2020

针对2019年11月发布的GDA94版行政边界数据集，其压缩包及根文件夹名称格式为：
• NOV19_AdminBounds_ESRIShapefileorDBFfile；或
• NOV19_AdminBounds_MapInfoTABFormat

无论选择何种坐标系，对应文件夹内的文件命名规则完全一致。
