A large variety of historic plans, currently available on 35 mm microfilm, are being digitised to enable online access. The plans include Australian Agricultural Company plans, City of Sydney Alignment plans and Water Board Detail Sheets.
How can these records help?
These are specialised plans and may not interest a wide audience. Surveyors and others will benefit from online access of these plans instead of requesting copies of aperture cards held in Queens Square.
Examples of plan uses
Australian Agricultural Company plans compensate for limited registered survey plan coverage in areas granted to the company.
City of Sydney Alignment plans show Sydney’s early street alignments and property boundaries and indicate building locations as well.
