23-10-2019 A very interesting artical/email from the Office of the Surveyor General

About Cadastral Surveys includes two pages of detail. The first explains the origins of the cadastral system in Australia before highlighting the limitations in usage of digital “cadastral boundaries" shown on LISTmap, which is dealt with in detail on the Property Boundaries on LISTmap child page.
Practitioners are encouraged to share this content with the broader public and feedback is invited. As mentioned in the SSSI seminar at Utas in May 2019, LISTmap Identify Objects window will soon be updated with a visually significant warning on the usage of digital cadastral boundary information that will ultimately link to these pages.
New Useful Links on the Cadastral Standards Background Information page, copied below, will be of particular value to candidates or recently registered surveyors
