NSW Property Address History Service

The Property Address History Service is a combination of datasets from the NSW Land Parcel and Property and NSW Geocoded Address themes that have been “time enabled”, allowing changes over time to be viewed.

Spatial datasets collected with time information can show what happened at a specific time, or what may happen in the future. By animating time-based data, it can be visualised at each step, highlighting patterns or trends emerging over time.

Spatial Collaboration Portal map layers that are time enabled include different information for the same location at different times.

When a dataset contains time enabled layers, it is “time aware”, and can be configured to display the data during a specific period or to animate the data over a selected time. Time animation can be enabled in the map viewer using the time slider tool.

Features included in Property Address History Service.

Address Point
Pro Point
Waypoint
Property
Property Fragment
Address String (table)
Property Lot (table)

To see how Address, Property and Lot Geometry data and Tables can be joined together download the Data Model Document. This will show what attributes in the datasets can be linked.

How to use the animated time feature

Open the “Map Viewer”.
Select the time enabled feature from the contents.
Select the “Configure” button (the icon to the bottom right that looks like two slider controls) to open time settings.
Select “Show Advanced Settings”
Choose your desired playback speed
Choose a time and date for “Start Time” and “End Time”.
Note. Spatial Services digital data range is 2006 through to present so data is unavailable outside this window
Choose an appropriate length of one time interval
Recommended: “Count: 1” and “Units: Year”.
Select “OK” to return to the Map Window.
Select the “Play” button which is the small arrow/triangle pointing right which is to the left of the slider.
Note: this data is not viewable at all scales, zoom to 1km or better

Relationship to Themes and Datasets	NSW Land Parcel Property and the NSW Geocoded Address Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
Accuracy	The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.
