This hasn't been the case for quite some time.

Not to mention that the previous ABS data has been very useful in
regional areas for plotting physical features, like roads, that
couldn't be obtained any other way at the time. I can only assume the
new data would be the same, if not better, than the existing data
which would continue to improve map data available in regional areas.
