LPI’s Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) consists of 46 tables, or layers, representing different aspects of land and property boundaries in NSW.
Key types of data include:
- Governmental boundaries such as Local Government Areas, State and Federal Electoral Districts, and other Administrative Areas
- Property boundaries including Lots within Deposited Plans and Strata Plans
- Suburbs
- Proclaimed boundaries for State Forests, National Park & Wildlife Reserves and Livestock Health and Pest Authority Districts
- Road corridors and centrelines
- Boundaries of bodies of water
The data was developed originally from LPI’s paper maps and plans and is constantly updated based on registration of land transactions in NSW, as well as changes in administrative boundaries. A “cadastre” is an official register of property showing boundaries, and that is why this is called a cadastral database.
Data users sometimes arrange to receive the entire DCDB, or they may receive a subset of tables or data for some parts of the state. You can learn more about the tables at a high level by visiting the SIX Metadata Node, a catalogue of spatial datasets maintained by LPI.
A full description of the data model features can be found in the Cadastral Data Dictionary (PDF 255KB).
