Property Data Available in Australia

Each Australian state and territory maintains its own parcel records, so the information attached to a parcel depends on where it is.

Understanding Property Records in Australia

Parcel
A piece of land with a defined boundary. Most parcels are lots shown on a registered plan.
Lot
A numbered block of land created when land is subdivided and shown on a plan.
Plan Number
The identifier of the registered plan that shows the lot. Its prefix often tells you which kind of plan it is.
Title Reference
The reference that points to the certificate or register entry recording who holds the land.
Cadastral Boundary
The mapped outline of a parcel in the state or territory cadastre.
Land Area
The size of the parcel, recorded in square metres or hectares.

Understanding Parcel Data in Australia

How Australian Parcel Records Are Structured

Land administration in Australia is run by the states and territories. Each keeps its own digital cadastre, its own title register and its own conventions for naming plans and parcels.

In most places a parcel is described as a lot on a plan. The lot number says which block of land it is, and the plan says which subdivision it belongs to.

Understanding Australian Lot and Plan Information

A reference such as "Lot 5 on DP 123456" means lot 5 on deposited plan 123456. The lot is the parcel, and the plan is the registered drawing that created it.

The title reference is a separate identifier. It points to the register entry for the land, and one title can cover a single lot or several. The parcel boundary is the mapped outline of the lot, so it shows where the land is but is not a survey of its corners.

How Parcel Information Varies by State

Plan prefixes differ across the country. New South Wales uses deposited plans (DP), Victoria uses plans of subdivision (PS), and Queensland uses registered plans (RP) and survey plans (SP). The Australian Capital Territory identifies land by block, section and division, and Tasmania refers to volume and folio.

Because of this, some attributes are widely available in one state and sparse in another. The regional table shows which states and territories are currently covered and how complete each one is.

What Information Is Available for Australian Parcels

Mapped boundaries and land area are the most consistent attributes. Title references and plan numbers are available for most parcels where they are published. Street addresses are less consistent and are present for only part of the coverage.

Where an indicator of boundary survey information is available, the availability table counts it separately.
