[talk-au] Boundary questions.

[Nick Hocking]

Darrin said.
"I think in most cases I've seen around the place in other sources the
vast majority of boundaries run down the centre of features, and that
running down one side of the other appears to be the edge case. Besides
except in the case where addressing for a street is all in one suburb
it probably makes the simplest map sense to draw it down the centre."


I'd hazard a guess that most urban suburbs will have their boundaries
running down the centre of a street but a lot of rural ones will have them
on one side of a road, river or train track.  With roads in the country
areas, it would make sense for then to be entirely in one suburb or another
so as to make it clear which local council is responsible for maintaining
it.
