Local Government Area Coding Structure
Local Government Areas are identified by four digit codes. Codes are unique only within a State or Territory. For unique Australia-wide Local Government Area code identification, the four digit code must be preceded by the State or Territory code (for NSW that code is "1"). All Local Government Area codes end with the digit 0.
- The geospatial LGA boundary (polygon/shape) uses the five digit code (therefor the four digit value cannot be used to join to a geospatial boundary without adding "1" to the beginning of each code value). LGA data from ABS uses the five digit code - see LGA Code N(5)
The codes used for the 2020 Local Government Areas may not match those used in 2019 in some instances. Changes to codes occur where a Local Government Area is abolished or changes significantly. The previous code will be retired and the replacement Local Government Area will be given a new code. A geographic correspondences file enabling the translation of data from 2019 to 2020 LGAs is available in the downloads tab of this publication.
Non-spatial special purpose codes are included as balancing items. Mesh Blocks allocated to these codes are not part of Local Government Area.
- LGA code 9799 is reserved for cases where people are coded to Migratory, Off-shore and Shipping Mesh Blocks.
- LGA code 9499 is reserved for cases where people are coded to No usual address Mesh Blocks.
