NRS-19439 | Charting Maps (Central Mapping Authority Maps) (Master Copy)

Full description

These maps are master copies which were created for a cadastre, a public register recording the boundaries, roads, waterways, identifiers and names for a parcel of land. The maps were adapted to chart the changes of subdivisional patterns and land status changes created by the registration of deposited plans. The maps contain contemporary and historical subdivision information.

Other notations may include strata plans, Crown grant boundaries and grant information if the land is Torrens, Old System or Crown land title. Also included are Primary Applications (PA) and Conversion Actions (CA), historical subdivision plans, road plans, acquisitions, resumption dedications and other land status changes recorded in government gazettes. Parish, county, locality and local government authority are also shown.

The maps charted subdivisional, status and boundary changes. These maps use the Central Mapping Authority (CMA) index maps drawn at a range of scales. They do not show land use or ownership changes.

Each map title is prefaced by MC; for Master Copy;, for example, MC/Q0162-06. The numbering runs across quadrants of the original topographic map which provides the first number. Some quadrants are divided again, resulting in a more complex number.

In September 2002 the manual updating of all Land and Property Information paper maps was discontinued. All notations, status and subdivisional changes are made in the Integrated Titling System (ITS) and the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). All charting information regarding subdivision and status changes since September 2002 is provided to the public through the Cadastral Records Enquiry (CRE) also known as the Property Location Map.
