I find Google Maps to be notoriously out of date. Look up the new Sydney office of the Australian Astronomical Observatory at 105 Delhi Rd, North Ryde (which happens to be next door to my workplace), for example. Apple Maps shows the building complete with landscaping and car parks, Google Maps still shows a hole in the ground.
In the past I often preferred NearMap to Google Maps because it is frequently updated. It seems that in AU Apple may get their imagery from the same source.
Traffic information still seems to be better (in breadth) on Google Maps, and there is no such thing as Street View in Apple Maps at this point. We'll see how this new service will develop.
