Electoral and LGA Maps

About LGA & Electoral Wall Maps

An LGA (Local Government Area) wall map shows every council, shire and city boundary across a state or region — making it possible to see which suburbs sit in which council, where service catchments overlap, and how administrative geography is structured. Electoral division maps do the same for federal and state political boundaries — essential for political analysis, campaign planning, government affairs and journalism.

Australia's LGA and electoral boundaries are surprisingly complex. There are over 530 LGAs across Australia (from massive shires covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometres to tightly packed metropolitan councils), 151 federal electorates, and several hundred state electorates. They don't always align, and they change as redistribution happens. A current, well-designed wall map turns this complexity into something you can plan from.

Choosing the Right LGA or Electoral Map

Coverage

State LGA Wall Maps

Mapworld stocks dedicated Local Government Areas wall maps for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Each shows every council, shire and city boundary in that state, labelled and colour-coded for clarity. Most are 788 × 1110mm or larger, laminated.

Federal Electoral Divisions

Federal electoral wall maps cover the 151 House of Representatives divisions across Australia. Available state-by-state and as combined Electoral & LGA maps for states where boundaries intersect in interesting ways (South Australia is the standout — our SA Federal Electoral Divisions and LGA — Adelaide Metro map combines both layers in a single reference).

State Electoral Maps

State Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council electoral wall maps are available for the major states. These show state-level political boundaries which often differ from federal electorates and are essential for state-level political analysis or government affairs.

Metropolitan and Regional Variants

For some states, dedicated metropolitan-area maps offer higher detail than state-wide versions — for example, the Adelaide Metro Federal Electoral and LGA combined map, and the New South Wales Electoral and LGA — Metropolitan Sydney and Newcastle area maps.

Custom & Branded LGA / Electoral Maps

Mapworld's most-used service for council, government and political clients is custom mapping. We can produce wall maps with your specific service catchments overlaid on LGA boundaries, branch territories aligned to electoral divisions, ward-level boundaries within a single council, customer or member density by LGA, healthcare or education service zones, and emergency response areas. Maps can be branded with your council, agency or party logo, sized to fit a specific wall, and supplied laminated, framed or rolled. Call 1300 795 697 to discuss a custom job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an LGA map and an electoral map?

An LGA (Local Government Area) map shows council, shire and city boundaries — the local government layer. An electoral map shows federal or state political division boundaries used for elections. They're different boundary systems and don't always align. For real estate, council services and most business uses, you want LGA. For political analysis and campaigning, you want electoral.

Are these the current LGA boundaries?

Yes. State governments adjust LGA boundaries periodically (council amalgamations, ward changes, etc.) and the AEC redistributes federal electorates regularly. Mapworld stocks current editions and rotates stock as updates are published. Each product page lists the edition year.

Do you offer custom LGA maps for councils?

Yes. Mapworld runs a dedicated custom mapping service for councils, government departments, political offices and consultancies. Common jobs include service catchment overlays, ward boundary maps within a single LGA, branch or franchise territories aligned to council boundaries, customer or member density mapping, and branded maps for council offices.

Can I write on these LGA wall maps?

Yes. All laminated LGA and electoral wall maps can be marked with whiteboard markers and wiped clean — designed for ongoing territory planning, catchment markup and service area definition.

Do you stock combined Electoral and LGA maps?

Yes for some states. The South Australia Federal Electoral Divisions and Local Government Areas Map (Adelaide Metro) is the standout — both boundary systems on a single reference. NSW has metropolitan combined versions covering Sydney and Newcastle. Other states are typically single-layer.

How fast is shipping?

Orders placed before 2 pm AWST on weekdays dispatch same-day from our Perth warehouse. Wall maps ship rolled in a tube via tracked courier. Most metro deliveries arrive in 2 to 5 business days. Free shipping on orders over $75; flat $7 below that.
