CLUE information is available for the entire municipality. This information can be divided into smaller geographical areas for more specific analysis.
CLUE data can be provided at small area, block or customised region (series of blocks) level according to standard confidentiality criteria.

Block maps
The Census area is divided into city blocks, each of which is identified by a unique block number. There are 606 individual city blocks which are primarily bounded by main roads and also take into account similar space use (for example, office use).

Some free reports of these small areas and associated blocks are available.
Geospatial map layers
To enable you to apply statistical analysis and generate maps from the CLUE data, geospatial map layers in Esri shapefile format for CLUE small areas and blocks are available to download here. You’ll need to perform a spatial join to append CLUE data attributes to these map layers.
CLUE small area and block geospatial layers (.zip, 116kb)
These map layers use a spatial reference projection of GDA 1994 MGA Zone 55.
Customised data can be ordered and tailored to meet individual requirements. Data can be provided in Excel, Word, or PDF format as figures, graphs or charts depending on your needs.
