The conversion of the previous datum to the current datum must be done by using the national coverage transformation grid from AGD66 to GDA94, mentioned in the notice `TRANSFORMATION OF COORDINATES TO THE NEW GEOCENTRIC DATUM OF AUSTRALIA (GDA94)', published in Gazette No. GN 40 on 10 October 2001.
