The Cooperative Legal Service Delivery Program (CLSD) Program comprises twelve justice partnerships in regional and remote NSW. ➢ About the CLSD Program This data pack provides a profile of the Wagga Wagga CLSD region using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Legal Assistance Services Data Digest (LASDD) compiled by the Law and Justice Foundation. It also uses the Foundation’s Collaborative Planning Resource (CPR) to present data on Need for Legal Assistance Service (NLAS) indicators and priority groups. ➢ About the CPR ➢ Definitions for the Foundation’s CPR NLAS indicators and CPR priority groups CLSD regions are based on Local Government Area (LGA) boundaries. LASDD data is presented by LGA in tables and graphs. Maps present data by postcode for a more precise visual representation and may therefore cover a slightly larger area than the CLSD region. ➢ About the geographies, including LGAs and postal areas, used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics February 2019 2 Where do people live in the Wagga Wagga CLSD region?
