Top of page Data sources CreationData sources and marker locations
The main data source for this project was the NSW Crime data from the Data Australia website. This is an Excel file of NSW crimes organised by offence type, month and local government area.
NSW local council information was obtained from the NSW government's local governement download section. Council data is available in a variety of formats, including the Excel file used in this project. The council addresses in the Excel file were used to determine the position of the map markers. Other sources of information were used to complement council data set for:
- Lord Howe Island. Data was from the NSW government website.
- Prisons.Data was from the Department of Corrective Services. The map marker will be placed at the Department of Corrective Services Head Office in Sydney
- Unincorporated Far West. Information was from the NSW government website. The map marker will be placed at the far north-west corner of NSW.
