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 also SIX maps. This 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.

This service will be decommissioned please use the following instead: https://cityofsydney.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c1baa8919b0a4072a16d3f1e85c0e689

Ward boundaries within the City of Sydney local government area (LGA) have shifted many times, dramatically affecting the number and character of people entitled to vote. The redrawing of ward boundaries was largely undertaken to redress imbalances as the demographic makeup of the City changed over time. The polygon layer represents the boundaries of each ward and table lists the corresponding assessment books.This data is part of the historic ward boundaries story map.

Sydney had the highest median house value compared to other capital cities in Australia as of April 2025, with a value of over **** million Australian dollars. Brisbane similarly had relatively high average residential housing values, passing Canberra and Melbourne to top the pricing markets for real estate across the country alongside Sydney. Housing affordability in Australia Throughout 2024, the average price of residential dwellings remained high across Australia, with several capital cities breaking price records. Rising house prices continue to be an issue for potential homeowners, with many low- and middle-income earners priced out of the market. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Australia’s house price-to-income ratio declined slightly to ***** index points. With the share of household income spent on mortgage repayments increasing alongside the disparity in supply and demand, inflating construction costs, and low borrowing capacity, the homeownership dream has become an unattainable prospect for the average person in Australia. Does the rental market offer better prospects? Renting for prolonged periods has become inevitable for many Australians due to the country’s largely inaccessible property ladder. However, record low vacancy rates and elevated median weekly house and unit rent prices within Australia’s rental market are making renting a less appealing prospect. In financial year 2024, households in the Greater Sydney metropolitan area reported spending around ** percent of their household income on rent.

There are currently twenty-one (21) Australian properties inscribed on the World Heritage List.A single Australian World Heritage Areas database has been created by combining data which was historically stored as a separate data for each property. World Heritage Area buffer zones are also included in this dataset where they exist for some properties and are distinguished from the Declared Property boundary in the data. Four properties (Kakadu National Park, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Willandra Lakes Region and the Tasmanian Wilderness) are inscribed for both natural and cultural criteria.The Great Barrier Reef, the Tasmanian Wilderness, the Wet Tropics of Queensland and Shark Bay meet all four World Heritage criteria for natural heritage see (http://whc.unesco.org/en/criteria or http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/about/world/world-heritage-criteria).16 properties are listed under the World Heritage criteria for natural heritage: the Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Naracoorte/Riversleigh), Lord Howe Island Group, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, K'gari (Fraser Island), Macquarie Island, Heard and McDonald Islands, the Greater Blue Mountains Area and Purnululu National Park, Shark Bay and the Ningaloo Coast.9 properties are inscribed for cultural values: Kakadu National Park, Tasmanian Wilderness, Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, Willandra Lakes Region, Australian Convict Sites, Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, Sydney Opera House, Budj Bim Cultural Landscape and the Murujuga Cultural Landscape.4 properties are considered serial listing where the properties comprise more than one distinct geographical areas. There are 11 sites that constitute the Australian Convict Sites. The Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Naracoorte/Riversleigh), Gondwana Rainforests of Australia comprise multiple parts and the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape.

NSW Cadastre web service is a dynamic map of cadastral features extracted from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). It provides access to a state wide integrated database and a component of the foundation spatial datasets within the New South Wales.

A “cadastre” is an official register of property showing boundaries. The DCDB contains current land titles only.

The cadastral feature class layers provided through this web service includes:

• Large Rural Plan Extent

• Rural Plan Extent

• Section Extent

• Plan Extent

• Lot

• Plan Extent Labels

• Section Extent Labels

• Lot Labels

The available attributes for point queries are:

• Lot/Section/Plan string

• CadID

This web service allows users to easily integrate NSW Cadastre into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications. The NSW Cadastral web service can 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.

Cadastral boundary data in combination with geo-coded address data, imagery, demographic information and agency specific business information underpins the ability to perform high quality spatial analysis.

Summary: A comprehensive NSW Land Tenure layer has been developed, integrating the latest and most reliable datasets sourced from various governmental authorities and departments. To the best of our knowledge, this layer offers detailed mapping of recent updates and changes in land tenure across the state. It includes information on land allocations, ownership transformations, and management updates, providing an up-to-date and accurate representation of land tenure in New South Wales.

Description: The statewide Land Tenure layer is a comprehensive dataset created by incorporating spatial and aspatial data from various state and commonwealth government departments, organisations and authorities, including the Forestry Corporation of NSW; NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development; NSW Spatial Services; Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (Environment and Heritage); The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (ABARES: SOFR23 & SOFR18); the NSW SEED data portal; and National Park. The wall-to-wall spatial feature class demonstrates how land in NSW is being managed or owned. It can also be employed to monitor changes in land management or ownership transfer over time. The process of acquiring datasets for updating the tenure layer and creating the statewide layer began in January 2024 and continued until August 2024. The collected datasets were amalgamated, and gaps were filled. This combined layer has then been manually assessed and visually compared against various datasets to ensure its completeness and accuracy. Esri basemaps such as Imagery, Imagery Hybrid, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth maps were also used for visual assessment. Furtheremore, expert knowledge from government professionals, and land history web search were considered to address potential inaccuracies and unreliability in datasets from various sources. The land tenure data consists of seven Tenure classes each class covering various tenure types as below: - Tenure Class: presents tenure classification of the dataset as Crownland-Leasehold; Crownland-Other; Indigenous Owned; National Park; Private; State Forest; Unresolved Tenure. Tenure Type of each tenure class are as follow: Crownland-Leasehold: Crown Timberland Lease; LEASE (SOFR2023); Leasehold Crown Land; Western Lands Lease; Crownland-Other: Crown Road; Crown Waterway; Either Crown Waterway, Road or other; OCL (SOFR2023); Other crownland; Public Road; Reserved Crown Timber Land; Timber Reserve; Vacant And Reserved Crown Land; Vacant Crown Land; Reserve for Public Buildings (Forestry); Indigenous Owned: Aboriginal Area; National Park: Conservation Reserve; Fire trail within national parks; Historic Sites; National Park; Nature Reserve; NCR (SOFR2023); Regional Park; State Conservation Area; Private: Hardwood Joint Venture; PRIV (SOFR2023); Private; Hardwood Plantations; Private Property; Private Softwood Plantation; Profit á Prendre; Softwood Joint Venture; State Forest: FCNSW Ownership; MUF (SOFR2023); State Forest: State Forest OEH Managed Flora Reserve; Unresolved Tenure: null (-2); ND (SOFR2023). - Shape_Area: Area of each Tenure class in square meter. Caveats: - In general, data from diverse sources retains different levels of accuracy, reliability and coverage, therefore, a thorough visual assessment has been carried out to overcome the issue. Having said that, there still could be potential minor errors which could have been missed due to the large extent of the dataset. - Note that Roads, Waterways and general public areas across the Greater Sydney and Wollongong have not been properly mapped in this version. This will be updated in the next update.
