The Land Parcel dataset is a data aggregation sourced from the jurisdictions which depicts national and accurate land and strata based information including parcels representing easements, roads, crossing, rail and water.

National Datasets in this Sub-Theme

National Land Parcel Boundaries

Purpose

Provide a graphical representation of land parcel and property boundaries

Dataset Uses

The use of consistent and accurate land and strata based information supports the health, telecommunications, transport and human services and utilities sector. Key uses include:

  • Improved Services - assists organisations in making informed decisions on future location of service centres and other community services.
  • Land Use Changes - While CadLite® does not contain land use information, it is often used to examine urbanisation changes. Paired with the Land Tenure dataset, CadLite® can be used to provide spatial representation of land ownership types for cadastral parcels, further enabling analysis of change in land use
  • Location finder - CadLite® can be used to show internet or mobile phone users an array of established services in the nearest suburb.

Quality

CadLite® is compared between the contributors and matched against authoritative spatial datasets to ensure quality of land parcel and property boundaries.

Relative spatial accuracy of CadLite® reflects that of the jurisdictional source data. The cadastre accuracy is +/- 2 metres in urban areas and +/- 10 metres in rural and remote areas.

Key attributes (name and the unique identifier) have a high degree of accuracy in the order of 99.09%. Other attributes derived from the processing of supplied data may have a lower degree of accuracy.

The dataset is updated quarterly.

Current Status

Australian State and Territory government mapping agencies and land registries contributes data to the PSMA Australia Pty Ltd (PSMA) CadLite®.

Future Status

PSMA is working to improve the data maintenance processes which have significantly enhanced its accuracy from previous releases. This improvement in processes will be continually reviewed to produce the highest standards possible in accuracy and quality control.

Future national land parcels and property data will include:

  • Matching with address data and a unique parcel identifier.
  • Daily updates
  • A spatial accuracy of 1–10 metres
  • A consistent, edge matched national coverage
  • All planned parcel information
  • Other information about associated property identifiers (e.g. a Lot on a Deposited Plan)
  • Easement information
  • A single point of access to information on rights, responsibilities and restrictions over land regardless of who imposes them:
    • Information about planned and actual land use.
    • Information on land valuation.
    • Information about development approvals.
    • The ability for properties to be displayed in 3D.

A two-way mechanism for users to feedback information on perceived errors, omissions or other issues will be provided.

Key Users

Federal, State and Territory Government Departments, industry and research communities and Business and community at large.
