Digital File Lodgement Requirements

This User Guide is produced for surveyors when creating Cadastral Survey Data (CSD) files for lodgement with Landgate to meet the requirements of Transfer of Land (Surveys) Regulations 1995 - Regulation 3.

1 Business Rules

The requirements for creating a file for digital lodgement of survey data are as follows:

The data must be consistent with the survey plan, as lodged, i.e. angles and distances must be as shown on the plan.
All polygons on the plan, including the surround and interests , are to be included in the file except polygons shown in an inset for road closure and amalgamation purposes .
All files must contain a surround polygon or multiple surrounds. Link traverses may be supplied when appropriate (such as for Interest Only Plans) or when an improved spatial relationship can be achieved.
All surveyed points (including intermediate marks, excluding offset marks) must be captured.
The file must contain available ties to the State geodetic network or if none, ties to the existing cadastre to allow accurate positioning of the survey.
Field record numbers are to be included in the file. See Data Requirements (Record 12 polyident2)
Landgate does not require interests that are coincident with a created lot (Whole of Lot) to be included in the CSD file. Interests coincident with a lot severance are required.
All files with a Projected coordinate must be either MGA94 / MGA2020, or a GDA94 / GDA2020 version of the Landgate Project Grids. For specification refer to Project grid and calculations.
Non-compliant CSD files will be requisitioned.

1.1 Special Survey Area Subdivisions

It is preferred that coordinates are supplied based on MGA94, GDA2020 or Landgate Project Grids (Projection) such as Perth Coastal Grid (PCG94) rather than arbitrary plane coordinates.
Observed data is required, as per the Survey Practice Guidelines for Subdivisions within Special Survey Areas under Regulation 26A of the Licensed Surveyors (General Surveying Practice) Regulations 1961. Final adjusted control values must be lodged in an eFB CSD file (refer Land Surveyors Licensing Board’s Survey Practice Guidelines for Subdivisions Within Special Survey Areas, section 7.0).

2 Digital Electronic Record Specifications

From 1 October 2018, Landgate will only accept version 2.0 CSD files .

Note: Attributes and Definitions written in Italics could be expected to be input by software and may not be the concern of a user.

2.1 Miscellaneous Remarks

ATTRIBUTE

DEFINITION

recordid

remarks

The record identification number.

Any remarks the user wishes to include. (max 80 characters)

The adoption of GDA2020 requires a value (text string) to be inserted into each CSD file to differentiate between WGS84 on the GDA94 and GDA2020 datum. On lodgement of a CSD file through the NLR-Plan Surveyor Portal, Landgate will copy the CSD file and insert the appropriate value as a Miscellaneous Remark in the first occurrence of RECORD ID 0. Text inserted will be “(Datum=GDA94) ” or “(Datum=GDA2020)”.

Record example: - 0,“(Datum=GDA2020)”

3 Converting CSD Editor File to Version

It is the surveyor’s responsibility to ensure that the data lodged matches the version format. Any discrepancies will be the surveyor’s responsibility to resolve and may incur requisition fees.

CSD Editor software does not export in 2.0 format by default. To export as different versions, you can ‘convert’ the file. To do this within CSD Editor go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Convert to version…’.

Once the version is set, the individual .dsd file will remain the set version format.

It is highly recommended that the version is converted to 2.0 before making any changes. Changes to some Lot types may not be retained during the conversion process.
