Product Name
Postcode Boundaries, Australia 2016
Description 
Australian Postcode Boundaries are approximations of Australia Post postcodes and are current as of February 2016.  The product is based on a collection of open source data, such as recently released PSMA Suburbs - Localities February 2016 data and listings of postcodes by locality from Geonames.org.  

All input data has been cleaned and topologically corrected as much as possible so boundaries are suitable for further spatial transformation and reprocessing. Unfortunately, poor match of the original data between adjacent polygons on State boundaries could not be fully rectified. 

PLEASE NOTE: This dataset is not compatible with the Australian Bureau of Statistics demographic information from the Census of Population and Housing. Use Postal Areas, Australia 2011 boundaries instead [https://mapdeck.com/data/metadata/australia-postcodes-geometry].

For use with MapDeck Apps. Also available for download as a separate product: https://mapdeck.com/data/metadata/postcode-boundaries-australia-2016-82771bf2-6efe-475e-a4bc-2aaf8c70610d
