Lot and plan number search and property boundary map
A lot and plan number search, or lot plan search, from the address, in Queensland, New South Wales and every other state and the ACT. The answer is the lot and plan number, the lot's outline on the aerial, its area and its council, as the state cadastre records them. It is not a survey: the outline is indicative, and only a registered surveyor marks a boundary on the ground.
What is a lot and plan number?
It is how the state’s land records identify a parcel of land, and it is often called the real property description. Application forms for council and building approval ask for it because a street address can change and a lot does not. The states word it differently, and you may see it called lot and plan, lot and DP, volume and folio, or certificate of title.
Where does the boundary map come from?
From the state’s cadastre, the official map of land parcels. It shows the shape of the lot and is good for planning a job and drawing a site plan. It is indicative and it is not a survey, so a surveyor is the one to fix a boundary on the ground where the exact position matters.
Where else can I find it?
On your rates notice, your title and the contract from when you bought the property.
