We don't have to do anything. LGA's were a convenient method of gaining the data at the time. We can leave them alone and not have to change anything.

The dragons pay no heed to such administrative trivialities!

Let's send the dragons out to decide which councils should be merging and where borders should be drawn, that might mix things up a little. :cerberus

I've never really looked at my dZ allocated points board before and am wondering what the letter after the zone name is, ie (C) and (A)?

(C) = City
(T) = Town
(S) = Shire

Not sure what (A) is ... Authority or Area perhaps.

Okay. I take it (T)s and (S)s only exist east of the divide in NSW?

What do (R) and (DC) represent?

(DC) = District council
(R) = Regional? or Rural? There are Regional councils and Rural cities (and yes, that doesn't make any sense) in SA

There are (T) towns in SA to - usually suburban councils that cover a small area.

(S)'s only exist in NSW and Queensland I believe.

I asked a question in 2014 about this matter & C@W replied:

A = Administrative Area
B = Boroughs
C = Cities or Councils depending on the state
DC = District council
M =Municipalities
RC = Regional councils or Rural cities depending on the state
S = Shires
T = Towns
Unincorporated

Perhaps R is something new or missing the C.

Here's some more:

(RC) = Rural City
(RegC) = Regional Council
(M) = Municipal
(AC) = ???

So I don't know what (R) is...

My GeGnome appears to have been in Moreton Bay QLD (R) when I published it. Weird.

It's in Moreton Bay now because it's in Morton Bay now. It would not have been there when published. A movable cache moves zones and takes its point along with it so moving caches in and out of zones changes control.

Aha - it's my first moveable that has moved.
Thanks everyone. :)

Moving a cache out of zone you want to control if it's controlled by the wrong clan is as beneficial to finding a cache and taking control of the cache. Get those pesky Cerberus caches out of your zone.
