Do you have an interest in how our cadastral systems evolve to meet the needs of future generations? A national strategy prepared by the Permanent Committee on Cadastre – a subcommittee of the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) – articulates a vision of what is believed the community will require from our cadastral systems by 2034.

Cadastre 2034: Powering Land and Real Property creates a vision of a cadastral system that enables people to readily and confidently identify the location and extent of all rights, restrictions and responsibilities related to land and real property.

To get the strategy right, the collective thinking of government, industry, academia and the broader community is required and essential to working towards and realising shared aspirations. This input from a broad spectrum of community and industry sectors will help ICSM make informed decisions on the final direction and form of the strategy.

Feedback closes on July 31st and can be provided via the ICSM website at or by email to icsm@ga.gov.au. Written submissions can be sent to ICSM Chair, GPO Box 378, Canberra ACT 2601 Australia.

The Cadastre 2034 document is available from ICSM here.
