Patchwork of Administrative Areas — Jochen Topf’s blog

http://blog.jochentopf.com/2011-09-01-patchwork-of-administrative-areas.html

More and more boundaries of administrative areas find their way into OpenStreetMap. In some countries there is already quite a lot of data for several levels of government. Unfortunately it is hard to edit and hard to use because relations must be used to model areas in OSM and relations are notoriously difficult to handle. Relations and with it the areas they represent are often broken as a result.

For Australia , the Bureau of Statistics provides most of the information: Country : Country boundaries should be produced by merging all the state boundaries (below) into a single polygon feature. State : State level boundaries are available. County : The states can be geographically disaggregated in a number of ways - perhaps the most similar to county boundaries are Local Government Areas (LGAs).
