Standard for the Accuracy of Spatial Cadastres in Australia and New Zealand

The ICSM Cadastral Working Group has developed a Standard for the Accuracy of Spatial Cadastres in Australia and New Zealand.

This Standard establishes Australian and New Zealand targets and a reporting framework for the accuracy of the horizontal position of parcels within Spatial Cadastres.

The Standard also requires attributing Positional Uncertainty to points, lines and/or polygons within the Spatial Cadastre. Attribution is limited to the parcels and does not include 3D data and boundaries based on natural features such as creeks, tidal lines etc.
