Digital Cadastre Modernisation (DCM) data integration into Vicmap
The Digital Cadastre Modernisation Project (DCM) is a five-year initiative to transform the legacy data of Victoria’s property boundaries into a data-driven, spatially improved, 3D enabled digital representation of the cadastre.
The improved property and parcel boundary positions generated by DCM will be used to spatially improve all Vicmap products. These improvements will result in changes to Vicmap, reflecting more accurate positions for parcel boundaries in the digital cadastre.
You can visit the Readiness Toolkit to find tools and resources that will help you get ready for spatially upgraded Vicmap.
We will start publishing changes to Vicmap in April 2022 and continue into 2023.
A Vicmap Change Notice will be issued one month prior to the DCM data integration into Vicmap.

Vicmap Special Bulletins
23 March 2022
Vicmap Special Bulletin - Improved Property Parcel data now available for viewing. Additional Vicmap data improvements coming soon (DOCX, 93.4 KB)
What is happening?
The Digital Cadastre Modernisation Project (DCM) is a five-year initiative to transform the legacy data of Victoria’s property boundaries into a data-driven, spatially improved, 3D enabled digital representation of the cadastre.
The improved property and parcel boundary positions generated by DCM will be used to spatially improve all Vicmap products. These improvements will result in changes to Vicmap, reflecting more accurate positions for parcel boundaries in the digital cadastre.
We will start publishing changes to Vicmap in April 2022 and continue into 2023.
The following Vicmap products will be affected as they adopt the spatially upgraded data.
Vicmap Product | Vicmap Tables |
Vicmap Address | Address Points |
Vicmap Admin | Local Government Area, Locality, Parish, Postcode and Township |
Vicmap Crown Land Tenure | Tenure and Government Road |
Vicmap Features of Interest (FoI) | FoI Line and FoI Area |
Vicmap Hydro | Water Channels |
Vicmap Index | Framework Boundary |
Vicmap Property | Parcel, Property, Road Casement, Easement, Annotation, Cad Area Bd, Cad Line and Cad Point |
Vicmap Transport | Airport Area, Railway and Road |
TABLE 1: Changes to Vicmap products
Metropolitan and Interface Council areas will be the first local government areas to have spatially upgraded data integrated into Vicmap in 2022.
All Vicmap customers are invited to view the spatially upgraded Vicmap Property data in the Integration Viewer. The Integration Viewer is a map viewer with a data download capability that has been created to view and analyse the spatially upgraded data by Vicmap customers prior to the data being integrated into Vicmap.
In the Integration Viewer, Vicmap customers can view the upgraded Property Parcel layer and download relevant data to facilitate use and analysis.
Contact the DCM team to register for access to the Integration Viewer.
When is this happening?
From the last week of March, data will be available for viewing and download for the following Local Government Areas:
- Brimbank
- Darebin
- Hobsons Bay
- Queenscliffe
- Nillumbik
- Whittlesea
The first six municipalities with spatially upgraded data will be available for viewing in the Integration Viewer in the last week of March.
The following Vicmap change notices were released to prepare customers for these spatial upgrades:
Change 272 Vicmap Property (DOCX, 673.8 KB) and Change 272.1 Vicmap Property (DOCX, 90.2 KB)
How will this affect me?
A Vicmap Change Notice will be issued one month prior to the DCM data integration into Vicmap.
Please note that DELWP will not be maintaining dual versions of Vicmap Property.
In order to utilise the benefits of the spatially upgraded Vicmap, you may need to make a data management and transition plan.
You can visit the Readiness Toolkit to find tools and resources that will help you get ready for spatially upgraded Vicmap

What is happening
The transition to the Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) is in full swing across Australia and the time to move to the new datum is now. If you work with spatial data, we want to hear from you.
GDA2020 is the new official datum that underpins spatial information in Australia and replaces the old Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). GDA2020 is in the process of being adopted across Australia and Victoria and will be the datum for the management of modern spatial products and services.
The transition to GDA2020 is central to the modernisation of the Australian Geospatial Reference System (AGRS), which will enable close alignment of spatial data and satellite positioning services (such as GPS). This enhanced alignment will ensure maximum benefit from ongoing advancements in positioning technology.
GDA2020 Transition Survey link
Victorian organisations are encouraged to participate in the Vicmap GDA2020 Transition Survey to help us better understand the challenges associated with transitioning to GDA2020 and understand your organisation’s support requirements.
The aim of the survey is to gain a better understanding of the progress of Victorian organisations in transitioning to GDA2020. This short survey will take 5-7 minutes to complete and closes Friday 17 December 2021.
GDA2020 Transition Survey:https://forms.office.com/r/1pUvieQkv8

What is happening
The publication of Vicmap LAT Surveyors View dataset (VICMAP_LAT_SURVEYORS_VIEW) has changed.
This dataset is now available in Spatial Datamart. To download the dataset, visit Spatial Datamart and search for VICMAP_LAT_SURVEYORS_VIEW.
Prior to the decommissioning of Spatial Datamart later this financial year (2021/2022), VICMAP_LAT_SURVEYORS_VIEW will be migrated to DataShare where customers can continue to access this dataset and future updates.
To assist customers currently transitioning from GDA94 to GDA2020, the dataset is also provided in GDA94 geodetic reference frame. Future updates will be delivered in GDA2020 only with the GDA94 version retired when the next update is published.
Consulting Surveyors Vic (ASCV) and Institute of Surveyors Victoria (ISV) committee members will continue to receive a notification when an updated dataset has been published.
Why is this change occurring?
The current FTP delivery platform has been decommissioned.
What is this product?
VICMAP_LAT_SURVEYORS_VIEW is a set of static tiled AutoCAD DWG files stored in GDA2020.It is derived from Vicmap Land Administration Themes (VLAT) and Vicmap Topographic Themes (VTT) datasets to provide surveyors with an AutoCAD representation that may assist in planning subdivision activities.
This dataset is only available as a collection of tiled AutoCAD DWG files covering Victoria which are refreshed bi-annually.
It is delivered in GDA2020 and, as a once-off, GDA94.
Who will it effect
This change will affect all users of the Vicmap LAT Surveyors View dataset. IUF customers are not affected.
When the change will occur
This dataset is now available for download.
