Property boundaries Queensland - DCDB Lite (DNRM)

This polygon layer is a 'lite' version of the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) showing minimal attribute data about the property boundaries e.g.: base lot polygons, Lot and Plan attributes and an accuracy statement covering the whole of Queensland. See additional information also.


This data is updated nightly on the QSpatial portal, but only infrequently on the eAtlas. The versions setup on the eAtlas are retained for historic purposes.


This polygon layer is a 'lite' version of the base cadastre in the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) showing minimal attribute data about the property boundaries. The dataset does not contain information on volumetric, strata lots, multi level building format lots or secondary interest such as easements and covenants. A complete extract of the state or by an individual local government area is available from the Queensland Spatial Catalogue.


EATLAS: This metadata record was created for the eAtlas and is not authoritative. It is based on a copy of the metadata supplied with the latest version of this dataset. Please contact QSpatial for the original metadata or more information.

Supplemental Information
This polygon layer is a 'lite' version of the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) showing minimal attribute data about the property boundaries e.g.: base lot polygons, Lot and Plan attributes and an accuracy statement covering the whole of Queensland. A complete extract of the DCDB BY LGA is available from the Queensland Spatial Catalogue. The data can be downloaded by searching on "Cadastral Data Queensland by area of interest". From the 30 November 2015, there will no longer be reference to Parishes and Counties in the Departments land information systems, including the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) – a computerised map of property boundaries and related description of all land parcels in Queensland. The Department of Natural Resources and Mines will retain a record of parishes and counties for historical purposes. The Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying provides historical information about parishes and counties and the historical parish directory is available online. If you obtain information or products from QSpatial, either the information will no longer contain parish and county details, or the parish and county fields will contain the words ‘no longer used’. DISCLAIMER: Users of the information recorded in this document (the Information) accept all responsibility and risk associated with the use of the Information and should seek independent professional advice in relation to dealings with property. Despite the department's best efforts, it makes no representations or warranties in relation to the Information, and, to the extent permitted by law, exclude or limit all warranties relating to correctness, accuracy, reliability, completeness or currency and all liability for any direct, indirect and consequential costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred in any way (including but not limited to that arising from negligence) in connection with any use of or reliance on the Information. EATLAS: This metadata contains additional information associated with eAtlas services for this dataset and historic changes to this dataset. The eAtlas has taken snapshots of the DCDB lite dataset (July 2012, Aug 2016) and made them as map layers. Historic snapshots are available for download by request.

Report

Result

Explanation
New data entered into the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) is validated as part of the update process. Each polygon in the DCDB has a unique identifier called a segment-parcel number. The attributes of the polygon based on the centroid which is the segment-parcel number are: accuracy code, lot number, maximum error value and plan number.

Report

Result

Explanation
This version of the DCDB can be considered as a seamless map of the State and consists of base cadastral parcels. The Base parcels are contiguous with surrounding base parcels. The graphic package and the routines that extract and reload update data to the database has a tolerance of 2mm on the ground. This tolerance may become significant in some proprietary systems and therefore an allowance will be necessary.

Report

Result

Explanation
Positional accuracy values have been allocated to all parcels in the DCDB. This value reflects 'maximum error' status of the parcel and has been derived from the capture process or assigned as the DCDB data has been upgraded. For this extraction, the 'maximum error' of parcels, expressed as a value, ranges from and a data sourced statement. It has been established that the positional accuracy of the DCDB should include a finite value representing the 'maximum error' based on the source map type, the scale and a digitising value component. Positional accuracy values are expressed in metres at a 95% confidence level.

Report

Result

Explanation
The attributes in the DCDB are acquired from a number of sources within the Department. The attributes describe the property description ( Lot on Plan ) of each parcel/polygon. Each polygon in the DCDB has a unique identifier called a segment-parcel number. The following attributes are attached to each polygon in the DCDB based on the polygon centroid which is the segment-parcel number: Accuracy code , Lot number , Maximum error value, Plan number. The original validation process consisted of the visual inspection and or comparison of hard copy output compared to the departmental cadastral working maps and update plans. There are several system validation procedures in the maintenance process and these are run at a required frequency. The QIF data routine also provides a validation report on a data extract. The estimated accuracy of the attribute information is 98%.
