Design

Geojson file of all WA suburbs was downloaded from https://data.gov.au/dataset/wa-suburb-locality-boundaries-psma-administrative-boundaries Than boundaries of suburbs were simplified (resampled) to achieve a smaller size of a file with (http://mapshaper.org/) Mapshaper.org is a handy free online tool that allows to upload a geojson file, display it as a map, then choose one of three simplification alogrithims which can adjust the strength of with a slider. So, WA MAP path was simplified without loosing too much detail for quicker visualization purposes. Only Perth Metropolitan suburbs + Mandurah are displayed in current visualization.
