Survey and Maps
Under direction from the Surveyor General, LPI plays a vital role in supporting the survey industry in NSW by collecting and maintaining official survey data. This important data underpins the State’s land information and mapping systems and is used to produce a range of digital and hardcopy mapping products and services.
As the main source of land information for NSW, LPI is responsible for maintaining
- a digital cadastral database of the State, which shows legal and other approved boundaries applying to land
- a digital topographic database, which shows the physical and surface features of the landscape and
- a library of aerial photographs of the State.
LPI also provides satellite imagery, parish and other historic maps and a unique customised mapping service that tailors spatial information to meet specific user needs.
These products and services support a vast range of community, business and government activities - everything from tourism and land management to electoral boundaries and bush fire control.
