Description: Derived from Postcode Boundaries from PSMA Australia Ltd by Navigate Pty Ltd. The Australia Post describes postcodes as geographic areas that are allocated by Australia Post to facilitate the efficient processing and delivery of mail to its customers. Postcodes are only allocated to localities officially gazetted by State land agencies. In the majority of circumstances, a postcode covers an area comprising of more than one locality. Unofficial or non-gazetted localities are not recorded in the Australia Post postcode database. Additionally, a postcode may be classed in this dataset, by PSMA Australia, either as an area or a point-type postcode (eg. Post office box). It may have multiple polygons defining its boundary. Postcode boundaries do not have to match locality boundaires. A point-type postcode will have one active centroid defining its location.

Description: The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions dataset has been prepared for the purpose of reporting on the Australian Government's Caring for our Country investments. The dataset is designed to cover all Australian territory where Caring for our Country projects might take place and includes major islands; external territories; state and coastal waters; in addition to the 56 NRM regions. This version of the data is an update and formalisation of the 'interim 2010' dataset (which was an interim update of the NRM Regions 2009 dataset- publicly released in Feb 09).
Whilst the boundaries of NRM Regions are defined by legislation in some states and territories this dataset should not be used to represent legal boundaries in any way. It is an administrative dataset developed for the purpose of reporting and public information. It should be noted that from time to time the states and/or territories may revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local needs and therefore alterations to either the attribution or boundaries of the data may occur in the future.
Caring for our Country commenced on 1 July 2008. It integrates delivery of the Australian Government's previous natural resource management programs, including the Natural Heritage Trust, the National Landcare Program, the Environmental Stewardship Program and the Working on Country Indigenous land and sea ranger program.
