The ABS encourages and supports the use of the ASGC by other organisations to improve the comparability and usefulness of statistics generally. The ABS has significantly reduced the price of digital boundaries, in line with the new Commonwealth Spatial Data Access and Pricing Policy. Digital boundaries of the geography used for the 2001 Census of Population and Housing are available on the following CD-ROM products, priced at $95 each: ASGC Digital Boundaries, Australia 2001 (Cat. no. 1259.0.30.002) (excludes Urban Centres and Localities) ASGC Urban Centres and Localities Digital Boundaries, Australia 2001 (Cat. no. 1259.0.30.003) Census Geographic Areas, Australia 2001 (Cat. no. 2923.0.30.001) (Census specific boundaries, such as postal areas and suburbs) Boundaries are in MapInfo interchange format (mid/mif), and include code and name attributes for every polygon.
