And this is a render issue not a data issue.

It makes it extremely difficult and easy to create errors within the boundary data when roads are realigned but the associated boundary is not.

Whilst it's very usable for regional and remote areas for which there is no data.  There is no justification for joining making admin boundaries into roads for metro areas particularly where there is Nearmap coverage.
