Landchecker sources the cadastral map datasets from each state/territory government source. For the land areas for properties in Queensland and Tasmania, we source these computed values directly from those states (e.g. QLD land areas match the State Planning Policy Interactive Mapping System). For all other states and territories, Landchecker computes the land areas based on the cadastral datasets we ingest. Actual land areas may vary from the surveyed Title Plan, and we do provide a disclaimer that they are approximate values.

Landchecker is integrated directly with local and state government, accessing data updates daily to weekly as the data becomes available. Want more information on a particular dataset? Reach out to us at support@landchecker.com.au
