[talk-au] PSMA Administrative Boundaries

[Lee Mason]

I didn’t know what to make of QLD, but I’ve just found this definition which suggests that the OSM coastline should be sufficient:
http://qldspatial.information.qld.gov.au/catalogue/custom/viewMetadataDetails.page?uuid=%7B3F3DBD69-647B-4833-B0A5-CC43D5E70699%7D

“For coastal areas other than Brisbane, the LGA comprises the mainland and all islands above their respective sea-shores within the encompassed area.”

Weirdly in Queensland, some of the locality and LGA boundaries extend
into international waters. They probably need to be cut-off at the
coastal water boundary.
