Files

• data.csv807 KB CSV: UTF-8 without a byte-order mark, RFC 4180 quoting, one header row using the normalised field names. Opens in Excel, Numbers and Sheets.
• data.csv-metadata.json3.6 KB
• data.csv.gz163 KB CSV (gzip): The same CSV, gzipped, at about a tenth of the size. curl, pandas, DuckDB and R read it directly.
• data.duckdb DuckDB: One DuckDB database with a records table of typed columns, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. It attaches read-only over HTTPS, so DuckDB, Python and R can query it without downloading it.
• data.gpkg72 MB GeoPackage: A GeoPackage with one polygon layer, records, in GDA2020 (EPSG:7844), plus the fields and publicdata tables. Drag it into QGIS or ArcGIS.
• data.json2.4 MB JSON: One object with a publicdata header (publisher, licence, attribution, version, source hash), a fields list and a records array of 6,968 objects with typed values. Blank cells are null.
• data.ndjson2.4 MB NDJSON: The first line is the provenance header, then one JSON object per line. For streaming and for tools that read line by line.
• data.parquet60 MB GeoParquet: every field and the polygon itself as a WKB geometry column in GDA2020, with the coordinate system in the file's geo metadata. Reads directly in DuckDB, GeoPandas, QGIS and GDAL.
• data.pmtiles9.1 MB PMTiles: Vector tiles in one PMTiles file, zoom 0 to 10, every field a property. MapLibre and Leaflet read it over HTTPS with range requests, so a map needs no tile server.
• data.sqlite762 KB SQLite: One database with a records table, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. Open it with any SQLite client.
• data.xlsx521 KB Excel: One workbook with a records sheet of 6,968 typed rows, a fields sheet and a publicdata sheet with the provenance. Dates are real Excel dates. Opens in Excel, Numbers, LibreOffice and Sheets.
• manifest.json1.9 KB
• schema.json1.9 KB
• schema.sql1.3 KB
• source.zip98 MB

GeoJSON is not offered because the file would be 171.1 MB, over the 100 MB limit for GeoJSON.

SHA256SUMS holds the SHA-256 of every file in this version under the name it downloads as. Check what you downloaded with sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS in the same folder. On a Mac, use shasum -a 256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS. Each list is signed by the deploy that wrote it: gh attestation verify SHA256SUMS --repo National-Digital/publicdata.au --source-ref refs/heads/main shows it came from this project's main branch.
