Victoria Property Cadastral Area Boundary Join Table

VLAT data representing Victoria's land parcels and properties includes a raw superset table linking property polygons to cadastral area boundaries. The dataset supports feature versioning, tracking both current and retired states of each feature instance. File formats include SHP, TAB, and GDB.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between PROPERTY_POLYGON and CAD_AREA_BDY features to understand cadastral parcel composition.
• Track feature lifecycle and versioning using the UFI_RETIRED attribute to study historical property boundary changes.
• Join spatial property data with this aspatial table to enrich cadastral analysis with administrative state information.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial file formats including SHP, GDB, and TAB, enhancing accessibility.
• Supports feature versioning, allowing analysis of both current and historical property boundary states.
• Represents authoritative land administration data for the state of Victoria, managed by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Limitations

• The dataset is an aspatial table, requiring a join with spatial datasets for mapping or geographic analysis.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count and column definitions are unavailable, limiting pre-analysis assessment.
• The description is technical and assumes user familiarity with cadastral systems like VLAT and VMPROP.
