			<gmd:abstract>
				<gco:CharacterString>Commonwealth Electoral Divisions (CED) are an ABS Mesh Block approximation of Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) federal electoral division boundaries. An Australian Electoral Commission electoral division boundary is an area legally prescribed for the purpose of returning one member to the House of Representatives, Australia's Federal Lower House of Parliament. Boundaries are based on the Australian Electoral Commission electoral division boundaries available prior to publication. Commonwealth Electoral Divisions may change as the Australian Electoral Commission revise their boundaries. Where this occurs, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions will be updated on an annual basis in conjunction with updates of other Non ABS Structures. Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes. Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs-edition-3/jul2021-jun2026</gco:CharacterString>
			</gmd:abstract>
			<gmd:purpose>
				<gco:CharacterString>Commonwealth Electoral Divisions developed by the ABS enable the comparison of ABS data with other data collected using Commonwealth Electoral Divisions as the geographic reference. Commonwealth Electoral Divisions do not generally cross State and Territory borders but there are three exceptions. Norfolk Island is included in the Australia Capital Territory electorate of Bean; Jervis Bay Territory is included in the Australian Capital Territory electorate of Fenner; and the Territories of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are included in the Northern Territory electorate of Lingiari.</gco:CharacterString>

						<gco:CharacterString>Commonwealth Electoral Division (CED) boundaries were created using various sources including the Geoscape digital datasets, Australian Electoral Commission digital boundaries and ABS boundaries, zoning information from state planning agencies and imagery. State borders are aligned to Australia’s Land Borders dataset produced by Geoscience Australia and available from http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/140044. Positional Accuracy: Positional accuracy is an assessment of the closeness of the location of the spatial objects in relation to their true positions on the earth's surface. The positional accuracy includes: - a horizontal accuracy assessment - a vertical accuracy assessment. Positional accuracy for ABS boundaries is dependent on the accuracy of the features they have been aligned to. ABS boundaries are aligned to a number of layers supplied by Geoscape with an accuracy of +/- 50 mm. Geoscape layers and their positional accuracy are as follows: - Transport and Topography +/- 2 metres in urban areas and +/- 10 metres in rural and remote areas; - CadLite +/- 2 metres in urban areas and +/- 10 metres in rural and remote areas; - Administrative Boundaries: derived from the cadastre data from each Australian State and Territory jurisdiction; - Greenspace and Hydrology: 90% of well-defined features are within 1 mm (at plot scale) of their true position, e.g. 1:500 equates to +/- 0.5 metre and 1:25,000 equates to +/- 25 metres. No "shift" of data as a means of "cartographic enhancement" to facilitate presentation has been employed for any real world feature. Precision: Boundary coordinates have been rounded to 8 decimal places, equivalent to 1.1132 mm at the equator. All ABS boundaries have been generalised to 5 cm with a 7.5 cm shared boundary tolerance. These Geopackages have had additional generalisation to +/- 2.5 meters from source data.</gco:CharacterString>
