Victoria Land Parcel Polygons with Property Identifiers

A polygon layer representing Victoria's land parcels, part of the Vicmap Property Simplified model. The dataset includes parcel and property identifiers, Crown and Freehold land differentiation, cadastral easements, and unique feature identifiers. It is maintained by the Department of Transport and Planning and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze land parcel distribution by Crown and Freehold land differentiation across Victoria.
• Join property polygons with parcel descriptors and Council reference numbers for spatial property analysis.
• Map cadastral road easements and other easements to study infrastructure and land access.
• Use unique feature identifiers and date stamps to track changes in property data quality over time.

Strengths

• Includes both registered and proposed parcel data, with proposals post-July 2002 being polygonised.
• Covers the entire state of Victoria, with a program to capture new easements statewide.
• Provides multiple spatial file formats including SHP, GDB, and DWG for compatibility.
• Released under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license for flexible reuse.

Limitations

• Historical easement data is incomplete, with no current program to review and capture missing easements in non-metropolitan areas.
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting initial assessment of dataset scale and structure.
• Requires conjunction with other Vicmap Property Simplified layers and aspatial tables for full context, as noted in the metadata.
