Description 
Local Government Areas (LGAs) are an ABS approximation of officially gazetted LGAs as defined by each State and Territory (S/T) local government departments.

ABS approximated LGAs cover incorporated areas of Australia. Incorporated areas are legally designated parts of S/T over which incorporated local governing bodies have responsibility. There are parts of Australia not administered by incorporated bodies. These regions are identified as 'Unincorporated' in the ABS LGA structure.

In all States and the Northern Territory each incorporated area has an official status. The various LGA status types currently in use are:

•New South Wales: Cities (C) and Areas (A) 
•Victoria: Cities (C), Rural Cities (RC), Boroughs (B) and Shires (S) 
•Queensland: Cities (C), Shires (S), Towns (T) and Regional Councils (R) 
•South Australia: Cities (C), Rural Cities (RC), Municipalities/Municipal Councils (M), District Councils (DC), Regional Councils (RegC), Towns (T) and Aboriginal Councils (AC) 
•Western Australia: Cities (C), Towns (T) and Shires (S)
