On the map
The shaded area is the official Local Government Area boundary.
These 25 localities are the ones the CSA lists for Brimbank, and the same set the council uses on its consultation site. We checked each against the official Vicmap locality boundaries: Brooklyn, Keilor, Keilor East and Tullamarine are split with neighbouring councils, and only a small part of Hillside is in Brimbank. Postcodes come from the CSA's suburb and postcode table. The shaded area on the map is the ABS Local Government Area boundary; area and density figures come from the ABS, not from the map.
