A dataset from the Department of Transport and Planning, last updated on 2026-04-09. It contains line and polygon features delineating gazetted Township and AT boundaries. This layer is a raw superset supporting feature versioning and editing chaining.

Use Cases

• Map current and historical township boundaries based on the gazetted features.
• Analyze changes in land administration units over time based on the feature versioning (UFI_RETIRED) support.
• Trace the lineage of boundary edits based on the feature editing chaining (UFI_OLD) capability.

Strengths

• Supports feature versioning and editing chaining, enabling historical analysis.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (DWG, GDB, SHP, MIF, DXF, EXTENDED TAB, TAB).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
