A classification system designed and maintained by the ABS, which divides Australia into geographical areas for the purpose of collecting and disseminating statistics.
This paper briefly outlines the current Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC). It discusses the reasons why the Australian Bureau of Statistics is undertaking a review of the ASGC. It considers the characteristics of a good statistical geography framework in the context of the ABS and the wider community of statistics users and providers. It provides a progress report on the ASGC Review and explains the major issues being considered in the Review, particularly: the integration of Mesh Blocks into the classification, the new output unit to replace the current CD and the status of local government boundaries in the new classification. It will canvas possible new classification structures and the criteria for their introduction into the ASGC.
Volume 1 is a classification system, designed and maintained by the ABS, which divides Australia into geographical areas for the purpose of collecting and disseminating statistics. This edition of ASGC provides details of the geographical areas used for the dissemination of data from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing. Volume 2 lists the names, codes and explanatory notes for the geographic areas that are specific to the 1996 Census of Population and Housing, including state and commonwealth electoral divisions, postal areas, state suburbs and indigenous geography. Volume 3 lists all urban centres and localities defined within a State or Territory in Australia at the time of the 1996 Census. The urban centre and locality structure of the ASGC groups Census Collection Districts to form defined areas according to population and other criteria. The resulting areas are known as urban centres or localities.
