ItemThe digital lodgement of cadastral survey data in Victoria( 1998-12)An integral part of the Victorian land registration system is the lodgement of cadastral data. Originally data was lodged to support the operation of the land market and the legal rights of the individual owner. The purpose for which it was designed, coupled with the technology that was available at the time, resulted in a paper based system of plans and indexes. Due to many external factors, the current land registration system has essentially remained the same for the past 130 years. However the need for cadastral information means that plan lodgement now serves a wider range of needs, and although changes have been made to the system, it would seem that document-based systems are reaching the limit of cost-effective improvement. A detailed study of the Victorian system of data lodgement has shown there to be several inefficiencies within the system, many of which would benefit by the shift to a digital environment. Research has also shown that the Victorian surveying profession is actually quite prepared to adapt to a digital environment, with many surveyors already preparing or submitting plans digitally. Other jurisdictions that are experiencing similar problems to Victoria have progressed substantially in this area and form ideal examples to learn from. The study of these jurisdictions has shown that although technically the process of lodging data in a digital format is quite straightforward, there are still many technical and legal problems that must be resolved. It is envisaged that in the future, data be lodged in a digital format, which would involve there-engineering of the Victorian land registration system as we know it. This thesis explores the concept of the lodgement of cadastral survey data in a digital format, the issues associated with such a change and the long term benefits it will provide to the surveying, mapping and land development industries.
