PIP 3/2010 Submission of Digital Plan Data

Plans Information Paper 3/2010 - Submission of Digital Plan Data

Occasionally deed plans are submitted to ROS where the task of digitising the data or translating the actual position of a land parcel can be a tricky or time consuming task. In the vast majority of these situations Plans Settlers will have to use their skill and experience to translate the data from paper to digital format.

However, the same problem may have arisen for the submitting agent. In these cases, where a historical plan doesn’t provide sufficient detail, doesn’t exist or where the deed inducing registration (dir) represents a new parcel of ground; a surveyor or mapping firm may have been employed to perform a survey to determine the legal boundaries. In these cases the surveyor may use computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) or Geographical Information System (GIS) software to generate the plan.

The Geographical Information Systems (GIS) team have a number of powerful analysis and data manipulation tools at their disposal, which can now be made available to help colleagues in preparing large or complicated Title plans that can make use of plans prepared in the way described above.

The plans, or more appropriately the data used to create the plans, can be imported to the Digital Mapping System (DMS) via the Shape Map-info Import and Export Tool (SMILEX) using an IMP index.

The IMP is a standard type of Index that can be opened directly or data can be copied from Index Map. See Section 14.1.8.13 of the Plans Manual for guidance.

See also Section 13.6.7 in the Plans Manual.
