On the wiki for Badgerys Creek the renaming is mentioned however I was able to find anything related to this on page 13 of the PDF linked above. Do you have another source you can provide for this change?

@HKSenior This is an old change of 2023 of NSW, we are not sure, why this comment has been made here.

Sorry there was a mistype on my part.

In the wiki linked above the renaming is mentioned however it isn't mentioned in the pdf (page 13/14) linked above. Do you have an official source that confirms the renaming change?

@HKSenior

The wiki Link mentioned above is not the right source for reference with respect to Western Australia . And the reference which can be used for the same is mentioned below .

The Link for the State is -

@HKSenior @GoogleCivics-Kantar Just in regards to Badgerys creek the relevant information can be seen here https://elections.nsw.gov.au/voters/electoral-districts-redistribution/names-and-boundaries-of-electoral-districts but as @GoogleCivics-Kantar is correct Badgerys Creek is in NSW not WA

From page 1 of the pdf (last paragraph) these changes will go in affect at the next State General Election which is due to be held in March of 2025. Add a column column called validFrom and set all of the relevant changes validFrom column to 2025-03.

From page 12 of the pdf add 2 additional lines for North West Central and Moore to point to Mid-West. That is:

ocd-division/country:au/state:wa/sldl:north_west_central,ocd-division/country:au/state:nsw/sldl:mid-west,North West Central renamed to Mid-West
ocd-division/country:au/state:wa/sldl:moore,ocd-division/country:au/state:nsw/sldl:mid-west,Moore renamed to Mid-West

@HKSenior The above suggestions is slightly tweaked. i.e. nsw is changed to WA. In assemblies.csv we do not have an option for putting comments. Also, we are not making changes in alias.csv because this is the case in which North West Central and Moore assemblies has been abolished and amalgamated as Mid West.

@HKSenior These changes in Victoria and Tasmania are not made by us, wrong ocd ids are being referred here. Kindly guide us which changes you are referring to.

I see these changes are solely reorganizing into alphabetical order.

In the future it would be best to submit 2 PRs one with the updates due to the upcoming redistricting and another as cleanup. The sorting is nice to have but can bloat diffs and make discerning between cleanup and actual changes a bit difficult to spot.
