Description

Abstract:

The Digital Cadastral Database of the Northern Territory is made up of the base active spatial Cadastre covering the whole of the NT with some secondary interests and identifiers over the top. The unique parcel identifier (LAISKEY) has then been used to link the cadastre polygon to the ILIS textual database and download various attributes to the spatial DCDB daily.

The current, active cadastre of the NT is made available to NT government staff on the DPI dissemination database SDB1.

Data Quality

Lineage:Urban - Digitised from the best available mapping, usually 1 : 2500
Rural - Digitised survey plans controlled via model adjustment program.
Pastoral - Digitised from the best available mapping, usually 1 : 500000. GPS and other control has been used for maintenance where it is supplied

Positional Accuracy:Urban - +/- 3 to 4 m
Rural - +/- 3 to 4 m
Pastoral - +/- 1000 m

Attribute Accuracy:Few attributes are held with this data. Quality of this is good as due to its age most problems have been found and resolved.
The spatial data itself only holds enough attributes to create the unique parcel identifier (LAISKEY) and a status attribute to signify if it is Active, Proposed or in Transition.
The LAISKEY provides a common link to ILIS where all the textual attributes are sourced. ILIS is maintained by a number of agencies, the main ones being Land Titles Office and Dept of Planning and Infrastructure.

Logical Consistency:Parcels are polygons or groups of polygons. The active base cadastral layer covers the whole of the NT leaving public road corridors as voids. Apart from road corridors there should be no voids or overlaps between parcels. In some cases there are overlying forms of tenure or secondary interests which have been created in another layer and overlaid on the base cadastre. Community service identifier points have been converted to small circular polygons for display purposes.

Completeness:Continually updated. Complete to date

Attribute Attribute Description Possible Code Code Description

CREATE DATE Date of parcel activation in the cadastral database

DATE_EXTRACTED The date this feature was extracted from the SDB1 dissemination database.

ILIS_LINK A fully qualified HTTP link to an ILIS land search for each parcel. Will require an ILIS account and external users will also need an ILIS certificate.

LAISKEY Unique identifier for each parcel comprised of the location code, lto code where applicable and the parcel number.

LOCATION_CODE A 3 digit number describing the location of a parcel

LOCATION_NAME The textual representation of the LOCATION_CODE.. e.g. 'Town of Darwin'

LTO_CODE A five digit derivation from the LTO survey plan number used to make the lot number unique.

OWNER_CATEGORY An attribute indicating the class of owner of this parcel in terms of Government, council or freehold.

***** Importantly, this attribute is derived purely from a textual pattern match of the owner's name. ******

The code for deriving the attribute can be obtained from the custodian.

PROPERTY_NAME Name of this parcel as in Pastoral Name.. e.g. Newcastle Waters.

When the OWNER_CATEGORY is either NT or Commonwealth aboriginal land then PROPERTY NAME is assigned the value of the owner's name, and can be used for labelling purposes.

T In Transition

STREET_NAME Street address attribute

STREET_NUMBER Street address attribute, can be 0 when the PARCEL abuts an un-named road or has no road access.

STREET_NUMBER_PART Street address attribute, used for duplexes, multiple 'axe handle' access roads or parcel subdivisions restricted to a single street number.

STREET_NUMBER_PREFIX Apartment or Unit number for units registered under the Unit Title Scheme.

STREET_TYPE Street address attribute

SUBURB Street address attribute. Suburb or locality within which the parcel lies. Sourced from the LOCALITIES dataset.

SURVEY_ID Survey Plan number pertaining to the parcel, as maintained by the Survey Branch. Does not include any Unit Plans.

SURVEY_PLAN_LINK Absolute HTTP link to the Survey_ID plan scanned document.

SURVEY_PLAN_NUMBER Survey Plan number as maintained by the Land Titles Office and appears on the land title document. Includes Unit Plans (UP) where applicable.

TENURE_FOLIO The 'Folio' number segment of the electronic register book Volume / Folio LTO registration system.

TENURE_VOLUME The 'Volume' number segment of the electronic register book Volume / Folio LTO registration system.

TENURE_VOLUME_TYPE The Volume type applicable to the LTO Volume / Folio title registration system. All new freehold & leasehold registrations are recorded against a single 'CUFT' volume type, with older and historical titles recorded against volume types such as 'CUCL' (Current Crown Lease), 'NACL' (North Australia Crown Lease), 'NTFT' (Northern Territory Freehold Title) etc.

TOWN_PLANNING_ZONE Where more than one Town Planning Zone falls over a parcel the zone is recorded as MZ
For further information on Town Planning Zones see metadata ID: 2DBCB7711FD706B6E040CD9B0F274EF

UCV_AMOUNT Unimproved Capital Value (UCV) of a parcel as determined by the Valuer General. Please note, there are some parcels that are not valued.

UCV_DATE Date the Unimproved Capital Value (UCV) was determined

UCV_PER_M2 $/m2 value calculated by dividing the Unimproved Capital Value (UCV) by the parcel area in square metres. Please note, this value can not be generated where there is no UCV and or an official area for a parcel.
