3D Property Ownership Map Base
For Smart Urban Land Administration
Fundamental and applied research to integrate 3D spatial information about vertically located ownership properties into the current 2D property maps.
ARC Linkage Project
2016-2019
About the project
This project aimed to develop solutions for accommodating 3D data derived from regulatory urban subdivision processes into the current 2D property ownership map base.
This project generated new knowledge in the area of 3D digital cadastre. Fundamental and applied research in both technical and institutional aspects were conducted holistically to deliver technical specifications for incorporating spatial information about 3D property rights, restrictions, and responsibilities (RRRs) into the map base, along with policy recommendations around transforming current 2D-based work processes to support a digital information environment.
Current shortcomings in the map base have significant societal and economic implications and are universally experienced, motivating investment and collaboration by the project’s industry partners. This project addressed these shortcomings by developing new methodologies to enable digital integrity and analysis of 3D RRRs and provided the requisite data architecture that the inclusion of 3D RRRs and provide the requisite data architecture that the inclusion of 3D RRRs in the property map base depends on. This directly addressed fundamental deficits in a core land administration tool and represented a significant step towards decreasing the risks associated with using the map base for decision-making and improving social and economic outcomes for Australia.
The outcomes of this project included guidelines for the delivery of a 3D property ownership map base for smart urban land administration, responding to core business objectives for many governments around the world.
