Victoria Land Parcel and Property Centroids with Feature Versioning

Vicmap Land Administration Themes provides a point layer of centroids for land parcels, properties, and road casements in Victoria. The dataset supports feature versioning and editing chaining through attributes like UFI_RETIRED and UFI_OLD. It is a raw superset of VMPROP_CENTROID, showing both current and retired feature states.

Use Cases

• Link centroid points to parcel polygons using Unique Feature Identifiers (UFI) for spatial analysis.
• Analyze land administration changes over time by tracking retired states via the UFI_RETIRED attribute.
• Support cadastral mapping by differentiating Crown and Freehold land types within the property views.
• Chain feature editing histories for audit purposes using the UFI_OLD identifier field.

Strengths

• Includes both current and retired states of each feature instance, enabling temporal analysis.
• Supports feature versioning and editing chaining through specific attributes (UFI_RETIRED, UFI_OLD).
• Data is provided in multiple spatial file formats including SHP, DXF, TAB, DWG, EXTENDED TAB, MIF, and GDB.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific column definitions are unavailable, complicating initial schema understanding.
• Easement data is incomplete, with no current program to review and capture missing historical easements statewide.
• The dataset's row count and total size are unknown, limiting assessment of its scale for processing.
