This base map includes: Roads, Points of Interest, Localities, Landform, Drainage, Cultural data, Parks and forests, Property boundaries and Street address numbers. NOTE: Please contact the Customer HUB https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/ for advice on datasets access.

The Government Property Index (GPI) allows the general public to view and search basic information on NSW Government-owned land and view it on a map through the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer.

The final dataset was derived through the implementation of the following inputs -

• GPR

• Crown Lands (DCDB)

• National Parks

• Land Parcels (DCDB)

• Spatial Services

• PlanningDB

• Property (GURAS)

Furthermore, there are five data fields which are in-scope for the GPI -

1. Lot / Section / Plan

2. Address

3. Area

4. Zone

5. Local Government Area (LGA)

Two special cases are Crown Land data and National Parks data, which were obtained by ‘intersecting’ the land parcels (Lot/Section/Plan) against the Crown Land Polygon and the National Parks (Estate) Polygon respectively.

Through the combined processing of these inputs into the GPI database, the final spatial data was added onto the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer for consumption by the public.

Property boundaries represent the extent of ownership of an address in line with NSW Valuer General for the purposes of address verification and rating. The spatial layer is derived from land parcel boundaries (cadastre) originally supplied by NSW Spatial Services who remain the source of cadastral information. See SiX mapsThis spatial layer has been significantly changed and maintained by City of Sydney Spatial Services. This layer is not survey accurate.Geoservice API disabled, but geojson and download permitted.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

This Land and Soil Capability (LSC) dataset uses the best available soils natural resource mapping across New South Wales. It provides a broad-scale, regional view as to the dominant LSC class present for over 3000 individual mapping units through the assessment of eight key soil and landscape limitations (water erosion, wind erosion, salinity, topsoil acidification, shallow soils/rockiness, soil structure decline, waterlogging and mass movement).

The assessment of LSC is based on the mapping method and rule set developed by OEH (2012). It builds on the rural land capability classification and mapping undertaken for the central and eastern divisions of the state by the former Soil Conservation Service of NSW (Emery 1986) but with more emphasis on a broader range of soil and landscape properties.

The mapping is based on an eight class system with values ranging between 1 and 8 which represent a decreasing capability of the land to sustain landuse. Class 1 represents land capable of sustaining most landuses including those that have a high impact on the soil (e.g., regular cultivation), whilst class 8 represents land that can only sustain very low impact landuses (e.g., nature conservation).

Dataset History

The best available soils datasets were sourced to provide a single (seamless where possible) layer across NSW. Datasets collated to derive this map included:

Land Systems of the Western Division [1:250,000-1:500,000 scale]

Land Systems of the Cobar Peniplain Bioregion [1:250,000-1:500,000 scale]

All map units were assigned a unique master landscape code and then assessed for eight soil or landscape limitations: topsoil acidification, salinity, water erosion, wind erosion, mass movement, shallow soils/rock outcrop, soil structure decline and waterlogging. This information was stored and interpreted using a rule set (http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/soils/20120394lsc2spubslandingpage.htm) in the Access Based Data Utility for Land and soil capability (ABDUL) expert system. The system allows for a manual override to modify LSC values when required. The most limiting LSC of the 8 hazards represents the overall LSC result for each map unit The overall LSC was linked to the geodatabase to produce the final map.

Metadata

Land use zoning details the type of land uses available that are permitted (with or without consent) or prohibited in each zone for all areas under the Local Environment Plan (LEP). Land use zoning in an LEP are grouped into the following broad categories: BUSINESS (B), ENVIRONMENT (E), INDUSTRIAL (IN), RESIDENTIAL (R), RECREATION (RE), RURAL (RU), SPECIAL (SP) and WATERWAYS (W). The LZN dataset shows the zoning of all areas designated under the LEP. Zones define the legally permitted and prohibited uses of a piece of land, determining if a lot can be used for commercial, industrial, residential or other purposes. In other words, it defines what can and cannot be built on a piece of land. The is a revision of the original 2006 dataset, metadata date 5 July 2016. The original GIS data was captured by local councils, DP&I and contractors and provided in accordance with the DP&I's Standard Requirements for GIS LEP data and Standard Technical Requirements for LEP maps. Before the LEP is notified on the NSW Legislation website, the mapping is checked by DP&I and the Parliamentary Council's Office to ensure that it is consistent with these standards. After the LEP is notified, the GIS data is quality controlled using an ISO 9001-Quality-Certified, Quality Management System and incorporated into the Statewide dataset. The Land Application data relates directly to and adopts the accuracy of its reference dataset, Land and Property Information DCDB. The GIS data may be subject to change as a part of quality control, or if the LEP is amended. Please confirm dates of respective features before use as this dataset has a large temporal extent.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

Additional Rural Village Land is land zoned R5 large lot residential (or equivalent) that meets defined 'village' criteria. It is proposed that coal seam gas activities will be prohibited in and within two kilometres of these areas.

Important Note: 14/01/2015. Since we generated these spatial layer datasets, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment has published an interactive CSG Exclusion Zone map. Interested parties should go to http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/en-au/planningyourregion/strategicregionallanduse/coalseamgasexclusionzones.aspx where they can find out more about CSG exclusion zones. The information in the Bioregional Assessment products aligns with the CSG exclusion zones as published by NSW and the subsequent publication of those NSW maps does not alter the information in our assessments.

Purpose

It is proposed that coal seam gas activities will be prohibited in and within two kilometres of these areas.

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.

Digital soil maps (DSMs) are prepared through quantitative modelling techniques that are based on relationships between soil attributes and the environment. DSMs are presented over NSW for a range of key soil properties, including soil organic carbon (SOC), pH, cation exchange capacity, sum-of-bases, available phosphorous, bulk density, clay, silt and sand (total and fine). The maps are at 100 m spatial resolution and cover ten soil depth intervals down to 2 m, consistent with widely used Australian and international systems. Random Forest decision tree modelling techniques were applied. Validation results for the maps indicate generally moderate to high performance and effectiveness. Maps of mean plus upper 95% and lower 5% prediction limits are available. The maps provide at least a useful first approximation of these soil properties across the State. The products are described more fully in the technical report: Gray (2023), Digital soil mapping of key soil properties over NSW, version 2.0 (76p). The report and raster layers can be downloaded through the NSW environmental data portal SEED (https://www.seed.nsw.gov.au/) and are also viewable through the DPE soil and landscape spatial viewer eSPADE (http://espade.environment.nsw.gov.au ). All maps, including prediction limits and intervals, are also available through the DPE data broker.

The BioNet Vegetation Map Data Collection is a catalogue of all available NSW vegetation type maps including Standardised products from the State vegetation Type Mapping Program, and non-standardised historic and contemporary maps. Each map stored in the catalogue is assigned a unique VIS (Vegetation Information System) identification number. This map catalogue contains: \r \r 1. geographical information system (GIS) data; \r 2. metadata, including technical reports; \r 3. images of cartographic map products; and \r 4. web map services, where available. \r \r For more information see http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research/VISmap.htm. There are over 680 native vegetation type maps available.\r \r All vegetation maps in this collection are available as individual data records in the SEED environmental data portal. For GIS data downloads for these individual vegetation maps go to the individual record in SEED. A combined map footprint layer can be downloaded here as a resource from this metadata record to assist GIS users in selecting maps. This footprint layer will eventually be removed once all individual vegetation maps in SEED have individual web map services created allowing them to be viewed in the SEED map viewer.\r \r The data collection includes State Vegetation Type Maps produced by the State Vegetation Type Mapping Program. For more detail on the Program see http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/vegetation/state-vegetation-type-map.htm . You can search for maps produced under this Program by entering the search term "SVTM" in to the SEED search window.

NSW Land Parcel and Property Theme Lot is a polygon feature that defines a parcel of land created on a survey plan. Parcel polygons are defined by a series of boundary lines that store recorded dimensions as attributes in the lines table. It visualises these boundaries of land parcels, often buildings on land, the parcel identifier, and basic topographic features.This dataset mainly contains lots inside industrial zones in Western Sydney but may also include non-industrial surrounding lots.

NSW Land Parcel Property Theme is a polygon dataset that represents areas of land with defined boundaries, under unique ownership for specific property rights or interests.A land parcel is an area of land with defined boundaries, under unique ownership for specific property rights or interests.A property is something that is capable of being owned, in the form of real property (land). 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 NSW cadastre is an up to date parcel-based land information system which contains a unique identifier which can be linked of interests in land (i.e. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). The cadastre includes a geometric definition of land parcels linked to other records, such as land titles, 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, and basic topographic features.The land parcel and property theme provides the foundation fabric of land ownership. It consists of the digital cadastral database and associated parcel and property informationDatasets that make up the Land Parcel and Property Theme include:Cadastral Fabric · Lot: 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.· Road: 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. 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: Represents 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.· Water feature: Represents tidal, non-tidal and ocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.Cadastral Features · Easement (including Carrigeway): Depicts a right, attached to land (the dominant tenement), to use other 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’.· Road Corridor: Represents the spatial extent of the legal road network· Road Centreline: Represents a line that forms the centreline of cadastral road corridors.· Railway Corridor: Represents a part of the Land Parcel and Property Theme covering railway land that is not defined by a lot.· Water feature Corridor: 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.· Watermark: Represents the spatial extent of tidal, non-tidal and ocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.· Authority Reference: Depicts the changes to an area definition that has occurred through a gazettal, act or government file action.PropertyProperty data is a polygon feature class that spatially represents an aspatial property description as provided by Property NSW in their Valnet database.Properties are divided into three categories:· Property (complete)· Incomplete· OtherLand and property data underpins the economic, social and fabric environmental of Australia and is used, amongst other things, to:· secure tenure for access to capital· define allowable use of land· manage native title, nature conservation, heritage protection, defence, and disaster management· improve infrastructure and property development planning· water and carbon accounting programs.The Spatial Services digital cadastral data maintenance program captures all changes to the statewide cadastral fabric from new survey plans and a variety of other sources.The cadastral data upgrade program is improving the spatial accuracy of the cadastral fabric by using survey dimensions and improved survey control. Upgrades are carried out together with the relevant Local Government Authority and are further facilitated through the incorporation of data provided by Local Government Authorities, Hunter Water and Sydney Water.Upgrade positional accuracy varies across the state and generally ranges from less than 5m from true position in rural areas to less than 0.2m from true position in urban areas, dependent on the survey control available.Data quality in both Cadastral Maintenance and Cadastral Upgrade is assured through specification compliance and datatopology rules.Spatial Services is currently undertaking a cadastral supply chain digital transformation initiative thorough the Cadastre NSW Program.Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians.

It can be used to monitor changes in the landscape and identify impacts on biodiversity values and individual ecosystems. The NSW 2017 Landuse mapping is dated September 2017. It incorporates tenure based information for National Parks and State Forests in NSW, at the time of mapping. It currently does not include the Greater Sydney Metropolitan Region. Greater Sydney region will be completed in late 2019 and will be incorporated into the NSW 2017 land use product version 1.1. The NSW Landuse 2013, currently contains the best available information for the Greater Sydney region. https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/nsw-landuse-2013 The 2017 Landuse has complete coverage of all regional centres and towns for NSW. It also includes updates to the fine scale Horticulture mapping for the east coast of NSW - Newcastle to the Queensland boarder. This horticultural mapping includes operations to the commodity level based on field work and high resolution imagery interpretation. The reliability scale is 1:10,000 and include values in the attribute fields of Source, Source Date, Source Scale, Reliability and LU Mapping (Currency) Date. Land use has been mapped on high resolution aerial imagery including ADS (digital imagery) captured by NSW Department of Finance, Service and Innovation, along with using Nearmap, Google Earth and Google Street View. Satellite imagery from LANDSAT (NASA), Sentinel 2 (European Space Agency), SPOT 5, 6 and 7(Airbus) and Planet Imagery, was used in the mapping process to account for Landuse activities that occur as part of a rotational practise. Land use information has been captured in accordance with standards set by the Australian Collaborative Land Use Mapping Program (ACLUMP) and using the Australian Land Use and Management ALUM Classification Version 8. The ALUM classification is based upon the modified Baxter & Russell classification and presented according to the specifications contained in http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/alum-classification. This product will be incorporated in the National Catchment scale land use product 2018 that will be available as a 50m raster - Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/data-download

This identifies the land to which the LEP applies under clause 1.3 of the LEP. This is usually the whole local government area, but certain land may be excluded. The LAP dataset describes the land to which a LEP applies. Land can either be included or excluded from the LEP. Land may be excluded from the LEP due to it being a Deferred Matter, or covered by a SEPP or other planning instrument. The original GIS data was captured by local councils, DP&I and contractors and provided in accordance with the DP&I's Standard Requirements for GIS LEP data and Standard Technical Requirements for LEP maps. Before the LEP is notified on the NSW Legislation website, the mapping is checked by DP&I and the Parliamentary Council's Office to ensure that it is consistent with these standards. After the LEP is notified, the GIS data is quality controlled using an ISO 9001-Quality-Certified, Quality Management System and incorporated into the Statewide dataset. The Land Application data relates directly to and adopts the accuracy of its reference dataset, Land and Property Information DCDB. The GIS data may be subject to change as a part of quality control, or if the LEP is amended. Please confirm dates of respective features before use as this dataset has a large temporal extent.

Examining Survey reports are documented evidence of an investigation to check a particular Deposited Plan. A Deposited Plan defines the legal boundaries of land.

Although there is no specific legislation, Examining Surveys, also referred to as Check Surveys, are undertaken by staff surveyors to check registered Deposited Plans where a requirement for investigation or checking has been identified. This may be due to a boundary difference or to check for accuracy and completeness of a survey plan prior to lodgement. Notations are made over the original details as part of the examination. The information contained on the Examining Surveys relates to the function of investigation or audit although this does not mean that the survey details alone indicate the outcome of the survey investigation.

Deposited Plan numbers from the 400000 series were allocated to identify examining surveys as available for public viewing whereas access to Examining Surveys that were allocated Deposited Plan numbers from the 900000 series required the permission of the Examining or Principal Surveyor or nominated staff member.

The first year of Examining Surveys to be allocated a Deposited Plan number was in 1925. Although Examining Surveys were allocated Deposited Plan numbers, and although the two types of plans are closely related, the Examining Surveys is a separate series of records to the Deposited Plans. Not all Deposited Plans are subject to this kind of examination and the investigative function used in preparing Examining Surveys is different to the process of examining Deposited Plans used by Plan Examiners for the purpose of plan registration. Further, not all Examining Surveys are allocated a Deposited Plan number.

The reports contain the original instruction or notes as to why the report was required, along with related correspondence. The classification is prefaced with ‘ESR’, Examining Survey Report, followed by the year of the report and a sequential number, for example, ESR/1918/42-56.

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.

The 2017 Landuse captures how the landscape in NSW is being used for food production, forestry, nature conservation, infrastructure and urban development. It can be used to monitor changes in the landscape and identify impacts on biodiversity values and individual ecosystems.\r \r The NSW 2017 Landuse mapping is dated September 2017. \r \r This is version 1.5 of the dataset, published December 2023.\r \r Version 1.5 of the 2017 Landuse incorporates the following updates:\r \r * Fine scale mapping of the Central Coast, Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions\r * Mapping enhancements to regional centres to improve the mapping accuracy for these centres\r * NSW road network based on road centreline data from Transport NSW, with standardised buffer applied to approximate the carriage width based on the road type\r * Plantation type (native hardwood and softwood) information within State Forest Estates \r * Horticulture data to tertiary or commodity level present in September 2017 from Australian Tree Crop Map Dashboard developed by University of New England - Applied Agricultural Remote Sensing Centre \r https://www.une.edu.au/research/research-centres-institutes/applied-agricultural-remote-sensing-centre/collaborative-r-and-d-opportunities/industry-applications-and-maps\r * Fixes to identified errors since published version 1.2 \r \r Previous Versions\r *Version 1.4 internal update (not published)\r * Version 1.3 internal update (not published)\r * Version 1.2 published 24 June 2020 - Fine scale update to Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area\r * Version 1 published August 2019\r \r The 2017 Landuse is based on Aerial imagery and Satellite imagery available for NSW. These include, but not limited to; digital aerial imagery (ADS) captured by NSW Department of Customer Service (DCS), high resolution urban (Conurbation) digital aerial imagery captured on behalf of DCS, SPOT 5, 6 & 7(Airbus), Planet™, Sentinel 2 (European Space Agency) and LANDSAT (NASA) Satellite Imagery. Mapping also includes commercially available imagery from Nearmap™ and Google Earth™, along with Google Street View™. \r \r Mapping takes into consideration ancillary datasets such as tenure such as National Parks and State forests, cadastre, roads parcels, land zoning, topographic information and Google Maps, in conjunction with visual interpretation and field validation of patterns and features on the ground. \r \r The 2017 Landuse was captured on screen using ARC GIS (Geographical Information Software) at a scale of 1:8,000 scale (or better) and features are mapped down to 2 hectares in size. Exceptions were made for targeted Landuse classes such as horticulture, intensive animal husbandry and urban environments, which were mapped at a finer scale.\r \r The 2017 Landuse has complete coverage of NSW. It also includes updates to the fine scale Horticulture mapping for the east coast of NSW - Newcastle to the Queensland boarder and Murray-Riverina Region. This horticultural mapping includes operations to the commodity level based on field work and high-resolution imagery interpretation. \r \r Landuse classes assigned are based on activities that have occurred in the last 5-10 years that may be part of a rotational practice. Time-series LANDSAT information has been used in conjunction with more recent Satellite Imagery to determine whether grasslands have been disturbed or subject to ongoing land management activities over the past 30 years.\r \r The 2017 Landuse was captured on screen using ARC GIS (Geographical Information Software) at a scale of 1:8,000 scale (or better) and features are mapped down to 2 hectares in size. Exceptions were made for targeted Landuse classes such as horticulture, intensive animal husbandry and urban environments (including Greater Sydney Metropolitan region), which were mapped at a finer scale. \r \r The reliability scale of the dataset is 1:10,000.\r \r Mapping has been subject to a peer review and quality assurance process.\r \r Land use information has been captured in accordance with standards set by the Australian Collaborative Land Use Mapping Program (ACLUMP) and using the Australian Land Use and Management ALUM Classification Version 8. The ALUM classification is based upon the modified Baxter & Russell classification and presented according to the specifications contained in http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/alum-classification.\r \r This product will be incorporated in the National Catchment scale land use product 2020 that will be available as a 50m raster - Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/data-download\r \r The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) will continue to complete land use mapping at approximately 5-year intervals. \r \r The 2017 Landuse product is considered as a benchmark product that can be used for Landuse change reporting. Ongoing improvements to the 2017 Landuse product will be undertaken to correct errors or additional improvements to the mapping. \r
