The locality boundaries dataset is the spatial representation of bounded localities (includes suburbs) of Queensland. These are the official locality names and boundaries used for addressing. This dataset consists of contiguous polygons in a single layer.
Locality boundaries are maintained in accordance with the Queensland Place Names Act 1994 and aligned with cadastral boundaries as shown on Queensland Place Names (QPN) plans. QPN plan boundaries are reflected in the Queensland Spatial Cadastral Framework (QSCF) and each parcel has a locality attribute. The exception to the above is the official locality of Moreton Bay, part of which falls outside of the Brisbane City LGA but is still a gazetted locality of Brisbane City. This part will remain named as ‘Moreton Bay’ (LOC 5785) in the DCDB and is merged with LOC 5788 (Moreton Bay within BCC) into one polygon in the Locality Boundaries dataset.

The attributes of Administrative Area Type, Administrative Area Name and LOC Code are maintained by validating topology against the Queensland Spatial Cadastral Fabric (QSCF) and Queensland Place Name (QPN) plans. The attribute accuracy is 98% reliable. The attribute CA_AREA_SQKM is a calculated field which reflects the area of each polygon in square kilometers.

The Locality Boundaries Dataset consists of polygons in a single layer. Polygons are contiguous with surrounding polygons. Any errors found are corrected and the data reprocessed.

Completeness of coverage : The Locality Boundaries Dataset is built up from each Local Government`s localities as they are gazetted and the QSCF updated. Completeness of verification : The dataset has been investigated for completeness by visual inspection and comparing differences between the new localities dataset which is extracted nightly from the QSCF and the current standalone master dataset. The locality boundaries are also compared to the gazetted QPN plans. Please note that these QPN plans still remain the point of truth for locality boundary descriptions.

No positional accuracy statements are attached to this file. The positional accuracy of the data is equivalent to that of the QSCF at the time of extraction. There may be degradation of the positional accuracy in the translation to MapInfo and ArcView formats.

The Locality Boundaries Dataset is created by several processes. Firstly the Queensland Place Names (QPN) plans are prepared in ArcGIS for each Local Government area (LGA) by creating locality polygons that are snapped to the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). The gazetted QPN plan is then used as reference to split road and watercourse polygons in the DCDB, and update polygons to the gazetted locality. When all polygons have been created or changed to match the QPN plan, the results are checked for accuracy. An extraction from the DCDB is done of all parcels in the Local Government area and these parcels are then combined by the Locality Code attribute in ArcGIS The resulting polygons are checked for errors and then combined with other completed Local Government areas to make up the Locality Boundaries Dataset.
From June 2026, locality boundaries are no longer derived from the locality code attribute within the Queensland Spatial Cadastral Fabric (QSCF). Locality boundaries are now maintained by daily validation of topology to maintain alignment between locality and cadastral boundaries.
