Dynamic cadastral maps for New South Wales, Australia, extracted from the state's Foundation Spatial Data Framework. The service is time-enabled, allowing users to visualize changes in land parcels, roads, and water features over specific periods.

• Support emergency management planning by mapping changes in road networks and land parcels.
• Conduct agricultural land management analysis using historical lot and road data.

Strengths
