Choropleth & Data Maps

This map includes several commonly-used boundaries for Sydney overlaid on top of each other from the smallest form of Sydney, the 2000 postcode area, to the largest form of Greater Sydney, the Greater Capital City Statistical Area. I would like to thank the Bachelor of City Planning (Honours) degree program for forcing me to learn QGIS; it's quite fun!

Data sources:

• Sydney Metro Lines

• Sydney Trains Lines

• All other boundaries

This is what a map of Local Government Areas (LGAs) in New South Wales could look like if every LGA in Newcastle, Sydney, and Wollongong had to have a population of ~400,000; and every regional LGA had to have a population of ~200,000. Most of these LGAs are impractical to some extent, particularly the Far West LGA which would have to manage a large portion of NSW's land area. However, this is just an experiment; it isn't a model for how LGAs should be merged in the future.

The term used to refer to the McChicken is not consistent across the world. The McDonalds in some countries refer to them as 'Chicken Burgers' whilst others refer to them as 'Chicken Sandwiches'. This map was created after I (an Australian) became frustrated as my American friends kept referring to chicken burgers as sandwiches.
