DCM Alignment Service

The Victoria Government’s major investment in Digital Cadastre Modernisation (DCM) realigned the state’s 4.2 million land parcels to improve their spatial accuracy. Spatial Vision’s experts provide a DCM data readiness and alignment service so that organisations can benefit from the investment in DCM to boost their productivity and confidence in property related decisions.

Spatial Vision’s team of experts have an intimate knowledge of DCM that can assist organisations to confidently plan and undertake the integration of the enhanced Vicmap product suite with their own business data.

Our unique position in undertaking the adjustment of the cadastre has given us a comprehensive understanding of the datasets impacted by Victoria’s DCM project. Spatial Vision has developed processes to undertake the alignment of an organisation’s assets to the adjusted Vicmap product suite. This process includes processes and different adjustment treatments tailored to your requirements.

As a first step our team undertakes a data audit to diagnose the impact of DCM on your business data. The audit will inform our recommendations on how and where to implement realignment, if required. By reviewing operational workflows and processes we can also identify areas that will require changes or improvements to maximise the benefits of the enhanced data.

DCM Data Audit and Reporting

Spatial Vision has automated processes to assess your existing data to identify;

Name
Geometry type
Projection
Attributes
Field counts

Identify assets likely to be impacted by DCM (in scope of adjustment service);

Assets determined by property boundaries
Assets linked to property boundaries by offset.

Digital Cadastre Modernisation and alignment

Identify assets NOT likely to be impacted by DCM (out-of scope of adjustment service). Not all of your data will need to be aligned to adjusted cadastral boundaries. The lists below describes data that should NOT be adjusted and it is important to identify the consultation to identify;

Identify legacy data no longer used in the organisation.
Assets located by digitising from aerial imagery or GPS
Assets located by digitising from as built drawings.

Adjust corporate assets to align with the realigned Vicmap boundaries. Our processes will identify the best approach for datasets to realign them. This may be a combination of;

Direct one-for-one replacement
Rubber sheeting to accommodate changes in geometry
Manual adjustment
Quality Assurance of adjusted data

Advice on integrating DCM cadastral data into business processes.

The DCM impacts not only parcel data it also impact on many other datasets which have a dependency on Vicmap Parcel such as planning boundaries, features of interest and perhaps even Vicmap Transport. Our experience with DCM and Vicmap will help you to address any other issues that may be associated with update.
