Re: [talk-au] How to map CBD boundaries?

probably like Sydney which is both a City https://www.openstreetmap.org/
relation/5750005 and a Suburb https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5729534and
an LGA https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1251066

I'm not familiar with the area so can't comment.

Re: [talk-au] How to map CBD boundaries?

That's a bit of a controversial question. The closest thing to an urban 
boundary is the admin_level=7 administrative (See the entire debate 
here: 
https://www.mail-archive.com/talk-au@openstreetmap.org/msg04041.html it 
won't take long).


The problem is coming up with a workable definition of where the 
boundary is. I have done a total of two of these using the ABS 
definition of the significant urban area. This is the one for Sydney 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5750005. However, I have received 
more complaints about this than every other edit I've done combined. 
Everyone has their own opinion on where Sydney starts and ends.


No doubt the same thing applies to Tweed Heads.

How should I go about mapping this CBD boundary?

Also if anyone who handled the imports can send across an OSM file 
containing only the city limits, or could add them, would be great!

I think the problem is that there is no official boundary for things like
"greater metropolitan area", and so I think this is to be expected.

We only have the suburb/town, and also the LGA.

e.g. The suburb of "Sydney" is quite small compared to what people consider
the city of Sydney to be. Is an address in the suburb next door in
"Sydney"? Officially no, although colloquially maybe yes.

[talk-au] How to map CBD boundaries?

I just downloaded an export of NSW boundary data from OSM. Now in this 
dataset a locality called "Tweed Heads" has been included, The problem 
is that is area only covers the CBD and not the city (including all 
suburbs) as a whole.

containing only the city limits, or could add them, would be great!
