Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: This dataset was created by the (former) Department for Victorian communities through "A Fairer Victoria" policy released April 2005. The boundaries were activated on 1 July 2005. All State Departments with a regional presence have adopted common regional boundaries. These are based upon those currently used by the Department of Human Services and align with those of local governments. The result is eight standard administrative regions - five in provincial Victoria and three in metropolitan Melbourne. To provide for the operational requirements of different Departments, there is scope, where necessary, for some flexibility within the eight regions. For example, the Department of Education will operate with four metropolitan regions, two of which will be coextensive with the North Western Metropolitan Region. Dataset Originality: Derived 
Description
The LGA boundaries were extracted from LOCLGA and consolidated with Gazettal Information

As per Vicmap Admin AD_LGA_AREA_POLYGON; this dataset is created by amalgamating the LGA's from AD_LGA_AREA_POLYGON to form the regions. It will only be as good as the underlying data.
