Content TitleNSW Cadastre History Service
Content TypeHosted Feature Layer
Description

The NSW Cadastre web service\u00a0is a dynamic map of cadastral features extracted from the Land Parcel and Property theme of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF).

Spatial datasets collected with time information can show what happened at a specific time, or what may happen in the future. By animating time-based data, it can be visualised at each step, highlighting patterns or trends emerging over time.

Spatial Collaboration Portal map layers that are time enabled include different information for the same location at different times.

When a dataset contains time enabled layers, it is \u201ctime aware\u201d, and can be configured to display the data during a specific period or to animate the data over a selected time.\u00a0Time animation can be enabled in\u00a0the map viewer\u00a0using the time slider tool.

Features included in the\u00a0NSW Cadastre History Service

Lot\u00a0-\u00a0Depicts 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.\u00a0

Road -\u00a0Represents 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. Each 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.

Unidentified -\u00a0Represents a parcel of land that cannot be identified. Crown land, vested, 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.\u00a0

Water Feature -\u00a0Represents tidal, non-tidal and ocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.

The\u00a0NSW Cadastre History Service\u00a0can be used for resource management, environmental management, land use planning, agriculture management, emergency management and recreational purposes. This service can be used to aggregate information for analytical purposes. When used in combination with geocoded address data, imagery, demographic information and agency specific business information, cadastral boundary data underpins the ability to perform high quality spatial analysis.

How to use the animated time feature

  1. Open the \u201cMap Viewer\u201d.
  2. Select the time enabled feature layer from the contents.
  3. Select the \u201cConfigure\u201d button (the icon to the bottom right that looks like two slider controls) to open time settings.
  4. Select \u201cShow Advanced Settings\u201d
  5. Choose your desired playback speed
  6. Choose a time and date for \u201cStart Time\u201d and \u201cEnd Time\u201d.\u00a0
    Note. Spatial Services digital data range is 2006 through to present so data is unavailable outside this window
  7. Choose an appropriate length of one time interval
    Recommended: \u201cCount: 1\u201d and \u201cUnits: Year\u201d.
  8. Select \u201cOK\u201d to return to the Map Window.
  9. Select the \u201cPlay\u201d button which is the small arrow/triangle pointing right which is to the left of the slider.
    Note: this data is not viewable at all scales, zoom to 1km or better

AccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m.\u00a0A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
