Statement

Dataset Source: The electoral boundaries data set for Victoria (Redivision 2000-2001) was established by the Victorian Electoral Commission on behalf of the Electoral Boundaries Commission. The VEC digitised the state electoral boundaries during the redivision process using various spatial data sets, including Vicmap and Vicmap derived products and Australian Bureau of Statistics data sets. Dataset Originality: Derived 

Description

Collection Method: Not Known 

Description

Preliminary compilation of Victoria's electoral boundaries was by the staff of the Victorian Electoral Commission. This file was then checked by Land Victoria to ensure conformance between the gazetted legal description of the boundaries and their digital representation. Initial maintenance of the data set will look to alignment with the appropriate underlying features represented in Vicmap data sets. Subsequent ongoing maintenance will apply change information as provided by the Victorian Electoral Commission. Newly defined electoral boundaries will be flagged as "gazetted" once the changes have been published in the Victorian Government Gazette and will come into effect at the first Victorian State election following the gazettal date.

For this product, feature and attribute accuracy is a measure of the degree to which the features and attribute values of spatial objects agree with the information on the source material. The maximum allowable error in attribute accuracy is 1%. 

Positional Accuracy

Comments

The accuracy of this data is largely undetermined. Where it aligns with underlying elements in related Vicmap products such as Vicmap Property, Vicmap Transport and Vicmap Hydro, its accuracy will be that of the underlying feature. For information regarding these products, please refer to their product specifications. Copies are available on Land Victoria's GIS web site at www.land.vic.gov.au.
