Council's map services

The City's Corporate GIS department offers two kinds of mapping services: a free service, with basic information about motorways, city administrative regions, voting wards, etc; and a subscription service, which provides more extensive information down to stand level. Features include full resolution aerial photographs, maps of proposed townships, and customised map making tools. Immediate online payment is possible.
