Near as I can figure .. your joking.<br>

No I'm being serious. Your proposal is to use level 6 to map the entity "that performs the function of a 'local government authority'". In the case of the western part of NSW this is the New South Wales Government.<br>

That said , and example would be the name used for nsw western bit<br>
name = Unincorporated Area of Western NSW could be appropriate<br>

<br>
No, that would be a description. There is no entity called "Unincorporated Area of Western NSW".<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
It is a name.<br>
Another sample ..<br>
<a href="https://digitalfarwestnsw.com.au/government-services/the-unincorporated-area-of-far-west-nsw-2/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://digitalfarwestnsw.com.<wbr>au/government-services/the-uni<wbr>ncorporated-area-of-far-west-<wbr>nsw-2/</a> "Unincorporated Area of Far West NSW"<span class=""><br>

... run<br>
by the Western Lands Commission - part of the NSW Dept of Environment.... ?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
That's still a description and also not correct.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
Ok on the Dept/Commission thing.. must be a historic thing .. found on the web.<br>
<br>
This <a href="http://www.crownland.nsw.gov.au/crown_lands/western_region" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.crownland.nsw.gov.a<wbr>u/crown_lands/western_region</a><br>
says "In these areas, which include the villages of Silverton, Tibooburra, and Milparinka, the Department of Industry - Lands (the Department) assists in co-ordinating various community services."<br>
I do wonder if that is current ... copyright says 2010.<br>
<br>
So rather than the whole NSW Government .. it could be the NSW Department of Industry - Lands.<br>
<br>
------------------------------<wbr>------<br>
Some names are descriptive, and we are the better for it. Tibooburra for instance.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
