Cadastre and Address Modernisation (CAM)
For more information on the CAM project go to the DNRMMRRD website https://www.nrmmrrd.qld.gov.au/data-mapping/initiatives/cadastral-address-modernisation-project.
Updated technical documentation is now available on the Guides and Resources page.
New time aware web service!
The new time aware service is available for use. This is a single combined temporal service containing all cadastral parcels from the DCDB from 1997 to 18 April 2026 and new parcels from QSCF from 18 April 2026 to present. All historic and current land parcels are in the same service for ease of convenience. All historic and current land parcels are in the same service for ease of convenience.
The time aware service is available in these formats:
QSCF_LandParcelPropertyFramework_TimeAware (FeatureServer)
QSCF_LandParcelPropertyFramework_TimeAware (MapServer)
QSCF Land parcel property framework, time aware (OGC WMS service)
QSCF Land parcel property framework, time aware (OGC WFS Service)
For more information on specific fields and tables, visit the Guides and Resources page.
QSCF web services and datasets now available
The Queensland Spatial Cadastral Fabric (QSCF) Land Parcel Property Framework (LPPF) service and whole-of-state download is now available.
We encourage you to provide comments and feedback on the new service by emailing OpenData@nrmmrrd.qld.gov.au.
Available now
The following services are available:
LPPF services
QSCF Land parcel property framework, time aware (OGC WMS service)
QSCF Land parcel property framework, time aware (OGC WFS Service)
Note: the QSCF_land_parcel_property_framework (Feature Service) is currently under maintenance.
Basemap services
The cadastral layers in Queensland Globe now point to QSCF as of 5 June 2026. This update changes the tenure layer structure. If your saved maps include tenure layers, you’ll need to re-add them and re-save your maps.
The Queensland Spatial Cadastral Fabric (QSCF) – Whole of State Queensland is available via QSpatial. The download is available in both GDA94 and GDA2020. You can also download an extract of your area of interest.
Note: DCDB updates ceased on 18 April 2026. Since then, the plan data updates have been incorporated into the QSCF LPPF services and whole-of-state downloads. Please review the new services and downloads to confirm the status of any new plans you have been awaiting.
Coming soon
The following services are currently being tested in UAT or are in production. You will be notified as they become available from the end of June 2026:
New service | Existing service to be replaced |
Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) update
No new cadastral data has been entered into the DCDB since 18 April 2026. Existing DCDB REST end services are still available for users to access historical time-aware cadastral data.
PlanningCadastre/LandParcelPropertyFramework_TimeAware (FeatureServer)
PlanningCadastre/LandParcelPropertyFramework_TimeAware (MapServer)
PlanningCadastre/LandParcelPropertyFramework (MapServer)
The metadata for these services will be updated to reflect the last updated date and include a link to the respective new service.
Survey plan backlog update
As of May 2026, the teams responsible for management of the in-production Queensland Spatial Cadastral Fabric (QSCF) report that the backlog of survey plans has achieved 80% clearance rate.
The backlog was caused by a necessary “double handling” of plans in both QSCF and the now-deprecated DCDB, from July 2025 to November 2025. The decision was made in November 2025 to cease double handling and focus fully on DCDB updates, which cleared the majority of plans.
Unfortunately, QSCF moving towards “go live” from April to May 2026 meant that cadastral updates needed to be paused yet again for most areas, which created yet another accumulation of plans requiring attention.
Thankfully, that new accumulation, combined with remnants of the old accumulation, is now close to under control. Furthermore, new (non-backlog) submitted plans are being dealt with at the expected rate, at parity with previous DCDB updates.
As the DCDB stopped receiving updates on 18 April 2026, QSCF is now the sole focus and source of truth for spatial cadastral information, updates, and upgrades.
The team expects to have the remaining 20% of the backlog cleared at the established rate, while striving to maintain 1:1 parity for new plans.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we near completion of the monumental task of overhauling the 35-year-old systems and datasets used to manage and maintain Queensland’s spatial cadastre. We look forward to working with industry and local government to optimise, refine, and fully unlock the dimensions, accuracy, timeliness and potential of Queensland’s spatial cadastral data.
Updates to the situation will always be found on this page in the first instance, with tailored direct communications sent subsequently.
Available documentation
The QSCF DCDB Schema Crosswalk is available for download. It’s been designed to address many of the changes between DCDB and QSCF schemas.
Also available is the technical QSCF Data Definition document. This has been designed for users to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the new structure, fields, tables etc. This document will eventually replace the Queensland Interface Format (QIF) data dictionary.
Both documents are in the process of significant revision to respond to user feedback and requests for greater detail.
Please take a look and provide your feedback, questions, concerns and suggestions via OpenData@nrmmrrd.qld.gov.au.
