Why is SMIS being turned off?

In 2021 a review of all spatial systems was conducted to ensure our Spatial systems continue to serve our business needs efficiently and effectively. The review found that there are significant risks with the current SMIS system that cannot be ignored or deferred without causing significant impact on the future of our ongoing service delivery.

When will I get access to LPE?

Check the Transition Schedule for the latest dates for your agency. You will be given access to LPE according to the schedule.

Our schedule has changed based on feedback on current functionality that has meant we are developing further capabilities within LPE to better meet user requirements, to ensure when you are transitioned to LPE, your business continuity is seamless.

We will keep you informed with updates on exact dates of your transition, so you have plenty of time to familiarise yourself with LPE before your SMIS account is suspended.

Why is SMIS being turned off?

SMIS is at the end of life and must be shut down early 2025.

All staff with SMIS access will need be supported to transition to alternate applications, with several applications available depending on what the features and data you are accessing. At this stage the transition off SMIS is planned for completion in December 2024. See the Transition Schedule for your agencies dates.

When will I get access to LPE?

You will be automatically granted access to LPE according to the schedule. Once you are granted access, if you don’t log in to LPE for 3 months your “portal” account will be suspended, so you will need to resubmit a request to get re-enabled.

The Transition Schedule indicates the date your agency will no longer have access to SMIS and all user accounts will be suspendedaccess.

Its main replacement, LPE may be familiar to many as it’s built using our standard web mapping tools in ArcGIS online.

Titles Queensland have separated from the Department of Resources and Title Searches and Survey Plans are now accessible direct from Titles Queensland through their applications.

I use SMIS to find

property sales and land valuations data?

LPE will include the most recent property sale which includes the owner namePropertyID, PID, sale date and sale price. The owner name is not confirmed for inclusion in the final LPE.

You can get the owner name from the Title Search.

Where do I access Title Searches and Survey Plans?

Title Searches and Survey plans are not included in LPE. All government departments are eligible to SMIS users can apply for access to Titles Queensland information directly at any time. There are no fees or charges at all.

• Request access to WebATS using ATSUserRegistrationWebPortal (DAF | DTIS | Resources | DESI | QRIC | RSHQ | RDMW) 

• Request access to eEnquiriesapplication: by email eSupport@titlesqld.com.au (all other agencies)

Why does LPE not include Title Searches and Survey Plans?

The audit requirements for connecting to Titles Queensland information products was deemed too costly, given the information is already provided for free via their WebATS and eEnquiries applications.

While this means users will need to log into 2 applications, the new LPE has advanced functionality that will provide efficiencies elsewhere, for example: you access the LPE configured webmap in ArcGIS Pro to speed up your business processes. See ArcGIS PRO - add a webmap or web scene for more information. You can request early access ahead of schedule by contacting our help deskit’s quicker to query a property – only one click, you can also download the data.

I use SMIS to find property details, can I still get this from LPE?

If you use SMIS to access this information, you will be transitioned to LPE where you will continue to access the same information to ensure a seamless transition of workLPE can provide property details in two clicks, search your property and click on the map.

LPE might look different to what you are used to, with new enhancements and upgrades offering a more user-friendly and efficient system, however, LPE will continue to provide everything you need, but it will give you the same data, except now with greater spatial capability. We are working to transition everyone across in stages, with a final transition goal of December 2024If you need the property owner name, your best option is to get access to WebATS and eEnquiries.

I use SMIS for Survey Searches and Historical Plan Searches. Will these be included in LPE?

There are 2 pieces of functionality that have not been built yetare currently being built:

The Historical Plans feature allows you to:

• Convert an historical description (eg. Portion 308 in Parish/County) to the current lot on plan description/s and display the results on the Keymap.

• Find current lot / plan descriptions from a superseded lot on plan description and display the results on the Keymap.

The Survey Search displays survey plan information (current, secondary and historical) linked to user selected parcel/s. It produces a report/s on the search conducted but copies of selected survey plans will not be included.

If your team use these features please contact the help desk to ensure you remain on SMIS until these are available.

What is the difference between LPE and Qld Globe/GeoResGlobe?

This simple answer is, Theya re built on the same platform, but LPE has access to some restricted data (sales and valuations), and business specific queries and reports that provide a similar end result to SMIS. See the query types below:

Below is a comparison table of how to display data in each application, which may help with the decision to have LPE access.

All these Both applications support adding your own data or live web services (eg. The restricted Government Land Register ). Additional data can be added by clicking ADD button from the search result. (LPE searches the Spatial Portal).

as a service).

What about GLR, eVLAS and LAMS that use “SMIS” maps?

SMIS doesn't provide data. The data connections to LAMS and GLR etc. are a separate project with different timelines, and we are working with those stakeholders directly on creating the solutionthe maps. For users of GLR, eLVAS and other systems, your maps will not be part of this project. They will be replaced at a later date via their own projects. The SMIS transition will only affect SMIS users.

I would like to incorporate SMIS data into my GIS, how can I do this?

If your team would like to access the LPE data as a webmap for use in ArcGIS Pro to speed up your business processes, you can request early access ahead of schedule by contacting our help desk.

See ArcGIS PRO - add a webmap or web scene for more information.
