The accurate position of highly stable reference stations across the nation is fundamental to all location-based technologies used in Australia. The resulting outputs of the National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) Capability and national observations and measurements are the 3D (horizontal and vertical) coordinates of these reference stations maintained by the Commonwealth and States and Territories.

Mesh Blocks (MBs) are the smallest geographical area defined by the ABS. They are designed as geographic building blocks rather than as areas for the release of statistics themselves. All statistical areas in the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), both ABS and Non ABS Structures, are built up from one or more MBs.
The national state electoral boundaries is a national coverage derived from the aggregation of the state and territories state electoral boundaries into a single coverage.
Traffic control devices are used to control, calm, slow or impede the movement of traffic. They include roundabouts, gates, stock grids, level crossings, tolls and barriers
There are a number of geodetic observations and measurements performed at the national and local scale that contribute to datum definition, standards and lower positioning uncertainties. They also form part of the fundamental physical infrastructure that contribute to the National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) Capability.
Land tenure is one of the key underlying influences and limitations to changes in land management. The Land Tenure dataset is for organisations that rely on the known tenure of land to inform land management decisions. Data is sourced from the land authorities within state and territory governments and standardised into a four level structure.
National jurisdictional boundaries are a collection of legislative, regulatory, political and general administrative boundaries sourced from Federal, State and Territory authorities. It is a placeholder for a variety of inputs from states and territories.

The Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ) is defined as follows in the Fisheries Management Act 1991 (FMA) (including the amendments to that Act made by the Maritime Legislation Amendment Act 1994).
The national federal electoral boundaries is a national coverage different federal electoral boundaries into a single coverage.
