SSSI NSW will present a webinar on 26 August entitled: Shaping the Cadastral Infrastructure for a Digital Future.

The presenter, Craig Sandy, recently presented a talk on this topic at the 25th FIG Congress held in Malaysia in June.

Craig Sandy is the director of survey at the Northern Territory’s Department of Lands, Planning and the Environment.

Joining Craig will be Ian Harper, director of Geodata Australia, who will be presenting a case study of a relevant project.

Australia’s cadastral network, represented by the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB), plays a fundamental role in Australia’s Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), supporting decision making across all levels of Government. The accuracy and integrity of the DCDB is essential to ensure critical decisions are made based on current and correct land information. With the introduction of e-Conveyancing and e-Plan digital lodgement, land information from a variety of external sources will rapidly populate the SDI with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based information. The integration of this highly accurate information will compound the inherent historical inaccuracies within the DCDB, causing considerable impact on service and information delivery.

To ensure responsive service delivery in a digital land administration of the future, Cadastral Fabric technology is transitioning the decades-old static DCDB to a dynamic survey title-based Numerical Cadastral Database (NCDB) that accurately models the nation’s cadastral network.

This webinar provides professionals with a comprehensive overview of how improved rigour and accuracy of the DCDB will provide powerful spatial infrastructure to generate technical and legal certainty for all stakeholders. It outlines the Northern Territory National Cadastral Database Project and discusses the vision, the challenges and the benefits a project of this nature can deliver.
