Foundation Spatial Data Framework Land Parcel and Property Theme

Brief description

A land parcel is an area of land with defined boundaries, under unique ownership for specific real property rights. A property is something that is capable of being owned, either in the form of real property (land) or personal property (chattels). The interest can involve physical aspects, such as the use of land, or conceptual rights, such as a right to use the land in the future.
The cadastre is an up to date parcel based land information system which contains a record of interests in land (i.e. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). The cadastre includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of the interests, the ownership or control of those interests, and often the value of the parcel and its improvements. A cadastral product or service visualises the boundaries of land parcels, often buildings on land, the parcel identifier, basic topographic features and sometimes boundary corner monumentation. The land parcel and property theme provides the basic fabric of land ownership. It consists of the national cadastral database and associated parcel and property information.
Descriptive data includes the identifier, tenure, ownership type, size, value, land
use and legal rights or restrictions associated with each separate land object.

Full description

Land Parcel and Property Dataset – Cadastral Fabric - The Cadastral Fabric is made up of the following features within the NSW Digital\r\nCadastral Database (DCDB):\r\nLot – Depicts a parcel of land created on a survey plan. Each lot may be represented by standard lots, standard part lots, strata or stratum. Each lot has a lot number, section number, plan lot area, plan number, plan label, ITS title status, and stratum label.\r\nRoad – Represents dedicated public roads which are open ways for the passage of vehicles, persons or animals on land. The road dataset includes public roads in use.\r\nEach road type has a section number, plan number, plan label, ITS title status, road type, road width or Crown/Council width, lot number, and stratum label.\r\nUnidentified – Represents a parcel of land that cannot be identified. Crown land,\r\nvested, dedicated and severed land may be included in this category as well as Old System lots for which lot/DP identification cannot be found. This dataset also identifies the locations of 100ft wide reserves, ACT regions, closed roads, crossings, surveyed areas, and un-surveyed areas.\r\nWater Feature – Represents tidal, non tidal and ocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.
Land Parcel and Property Dataset – Cadastral Features - Cadastral Features are made up of the following data held in the NSW Digital\r\nCadastral Database (DCDB):\r\nEasement – Depicts a right, attached to land (the dominant tenement), to use\r\nother land (the servient tenement) for a specified non-exclusive purpose known to the law, e.g. right of carriageway, easement to drain water etc. – however the law also recognises an easement in favour of a statutory authority without a dominant tenement, described as an ‘easement in gross’.\r\nRoad Corridor – Represents the spatial extent of the legal road network.\r\nRoad Centreline – Represents a line that forms the centreline of cadastral road\r\ncorridors.\r\nRailway Corrdor – Represents a part of the DCDB covering railway land that is\r\nnot defined by a lot.\r\nWater Feature Corridor – Represents the spatial extent of tidal, non-tidal and\r\nocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.\r\nWatermark – Represents the extent of a water feature or the delineation between water features of a different type or status. The dataset contains high water mark, low water mark, the limit of tidal influence and bay closing lines.\r\nAuthority Reference – Depicts the changes to an area definition that has\r\noccurred through a gazettal, act or government file action.
Land Parcel and Property Dataset – Property - Property data is a polygon feature class that spatially represents an aspatial\r\nproperty description as provided by the Valuer Generals Department in their ValNet database. Properties are divided into 3 categories: ‘Property’ (Complete),\r\n‘Incomplete’ and ‘Other’.
