Not quite: "To fix this, all Australian states and territories have agreed to update their coordinates by June. However, they are all doing it at their own speeds. On January 1, the Victorian and NSW governments updated the coordinates of every road, property and geographical feature in their states, essentially moving the south-eastern seaboard 1.8 metres north-east overnight."
So all of Australia will move by June, but so far only NSW and Victoria have.
I don't see why it's a good idea to update coordinates of different parts of a continent at different times. Likely a political decision, not a technical one.
- daveFNbuck 7y agoIt sounds like it wasn't an explicit decision, they just have different people working on it and the NSW and Victoria people were able to make the change earlier than others.
