BACKGROUND Initial capture commenced 1989 using Genamap software and was completed in1993. Best available data was used : CMA cadastral maps drawn from old parish maps and hand plotted plans ranging in scale from 1:2000 to 1: Crown town and village maps Digital data sourced from Sydney Water, Hunter District Water Board and Shoalhaven City Council Manual update and digital capture of hard copy maps was undertaken by a combination of private contractors and in house staff LPI Bathurst staff provided quality control of contractor captured data Initial capture commenced 1989 using Genamap software and was completed in1993.

RESOURCES ARC ESRI GIS software which was adopted in December 2004 is used to update the DCDB ARC provides a job management system (JTX) which enables all jobs to be tracked by operator and job stage Access to title data and plan images is provided through the Department’s “SIX” website Imagery and/or topographic data is also imported where required The process is managed by a Team Leader and 2 Supervisors, with 20 operators undertaking jobs allocated by LGA ARC ESRI GIS software which was adopted in December 2004 is used to update the DCDB ARC provides a job management system (JTX) which enables all jobs to be tracked by operator and job stage Access to title data and plan images is provided through the Department’s “SIX” website Imagery and/or topographic data is also imported where required The process is managed by a Team Leader and 2 Supervisors, with 20 operators undertaking jobs allocated by LGA DCDB Update

ACCURACY Except where data has been upgraded the base data accuracy is derived from the accuracy of the original source documents, e.g. + or - 2 metres from 1:4000 maps, + or metres for 1:25000 maps etc Generalisation caused by original map scale results in some boundary steps and bends being omitted from the data Digital data used in original capture carries no accuracy as supplying organisations could not provide metadata Unless the area has been upgraded, no accuracy metadata is stored against points or lines, rather the accuracy of the base data is referred to when needed Except where data has been upgraded the base data accuracy is derived from the accuracy of the original source documents, e.g. + or - 2 metres from 1:4000 maps, + or metres for 1:25000 maps etc Generalisation caused by original map scale results in some boundary steps and bends being omitted from the data Digital data used in original capture carries no accuracy as supplying organisations could not provide metadata Unless the area has been upgraded, no accuracy metadata is stored against points or lines, rather the accuracy of the base data is referred to when needed DCDB Update

UPDATE PROCESS Plans registered at LPI Sydney are scanned and incorporated into job packets that are placed on the job queue that are accessed by update operators using JTX. Where jobs are corrections or miscellaneous jobs the jobs are created by the operator. Bearing and distance data is captured for “Survey” type jobs and stored for later access in the upgrade process. The captured plan data is input using a ”fit to fabric” process except where gross errors outside of expected base data accuracy are found, when “Ad Hoc” updates are carried out to fix such problems Plans registered at LPI Sydney are scanned and incorporated into job packets that are placed on the job queue that are accessed by update operators using JTX.

UPDATE PROCESS (Continued) The system imposes strict checks to ensure our cadastral business rules are adhered to in the “BUILD” stage and that topology is maintained in the “QA VALIDATE” stage Completed jobs are then incorporated into the DCDB Maintenance data set in the “POST” stage Data from the maintenance data base is posted to the delivery data base for distribution to clients The system imposes strict checks to ensure our cadastral business rules are adhered to in the “BUILD” stage and that topology is maintained in the “QA VALIDATE” stage Completed jobs are then incorporated into the DCDB Maintenance data set in the “POST” stage Data from the maintenance data base is posted to the delivery data base for distribution to clients DCDB Update
