Description: This dataset depicts the gazetted boundaries of the suburbs in the Wollongong Local Government Area. The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is responsible for new suburbs and major amendments. Local Government Areas are accountable for minor amendments. These minor amendments are still put through the GNB and are carried out under the “Minor position and Extents policy”. The dataset also contains postcodes that are held against each suburb.

Description: This polygon dataset has been produced to monitor areas for vulnerability to heat using a heat vulnerability index (HVI) for the Significant Urban Area of the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area for the summer season of 2015-2016. HVI utilises indicators of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity for calculating overall heat vulnerability index. The heat vulnerability index (HVI) is represented by a scale of 1 to 5 based on quintiles, with 1 representing low exposure, low sensitivity or high adaptive capacity and 5 representing high exposure, high sensitivity or low adaptive capacity. The calculation of HVI is explained. This has been integrated with Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) polygon dataset to enable spatial analysis to support local policy and decision making. It can be used in conjunction with the NSW urban vegetation cover dataset for the same time period for broader analysis of the relationship of heat to green cover.

Description: This polygon dataset has been produced to monitor areas of urban heat island effect (UHI) for the Significant Urban Area of the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area for the summer season of 2015-2016. UHI measures the deviation of temperature to a non-urban vegetated reference within the study area to reveal the effects of urbanisation on land surface temperature. A non-urban vegetated reference would be the average temperature for heavily wooded areas of national parks around Sydney. UHI data has been derived from the analysis of land surface temperature (LST) data from Landsat 8 satellite imagery and the thermal and infrared bands with a 25m resolution. This has been integrated with Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset to enable spatial analysis to support local policy and decision making.
