Purpose The LGA Structure shows the relationship between LGAs and SLAs. This relationship can be one LGA to one SLA or one LGA to many SLAs.
The structure Incorporated areas only The LGA Structure covers only incorporated areas of Australia. Incorporated areas are legally designated areas over which incorporated local governments have responsibility. The major areas of Australia not covered by incorporated bodies are the northern parts of South Australia, most of the Northern Territory and all of the Australian Capital Territory and the Other Territories. LGAs included in the structure LGAs are proclaimed by various State government authorities and are gazetted throughout the year. Presently, LGAs are used as the base on which SLAs are defined for the ASGC. Because this definition process takes time, LGAs gazetted during the year leading up to an ASGC edition cannot always be processed in time for inclusion in that edition. For instance, complex LGA changes which result in complicated redesign of SLAs, or changes gazetted too close to the effective date of 1 July of an ASGC edition, may sometimes have to be included in a later edition. Table The current LGA Structure, down to SLA level, is shown in the table - Alphabetic List of LGAs and SLAs within States/Territories - in chapter 12.
