pd_boundaries: A boundary layer as an sf object

In publicdataau: Australian Government Open Data from 'publicdata.au'

A boundary layer as an sf object

Description

A boundary layer as an sf object

Usage

pd_boundaries(layer, cache = NULL)

Arguments

layer	A layer's key, such as '"lga"', '"sa2"', '"suburb"', '"postcode"', '"state_electorate"' or '"federal_electorate"', or its slug or code field. [pd_boundary_layers()] lists them.
cache	Keep the file in [pd_cache_dir()] and reuse it next time. Versions never change, so a kept file never goes stale. Off unless 'options(publicdataau.cache = TRUE)' is set.

Value

An 'sf' tibble with a row per area: its code, name and the other fields of the layer, in GDA2020 (EPSG:7844).

Examples

# A boundary file is tens of megabytes, so this runs only when asked.
electorates <- pd_boundaries("federal_electorate")
