Cadastral Features are made up of the following data held in the NSW Digital
Cadastral Database (DCDB):
Easement – Depicts a right, attached to land (the dominant tenement), to use
other land (the servient tenement) for a specified non-exclusive purpose known to the law, e.g. right of carriageway, easement to drain water etc. – however the law also recognises an easement in favour of a statutory authority without a dominant tenement, described as an ‘easement in gross’.
Road Corridor – Represents the spatial extent of the legal road network.
Road Centreline – Represents a line that forms the centreline of cadastral road
corridors.
Railway Corrdor – Represents a part of the DCDB covering railway land that is
not defined by a lot.
Water Feature Corridor – Represents the spatial extent of tidal, non-tidal and
ocean waters which form a cadastral boundary.
Watermark – Represents the extent of a water feature or the delineation between water features of a different type or status. The dataset contains high water mark, low water mark, the limit of tidal influence and bay closing lines.
Authority Reference – Depicts the changes to an area definition that has
occurred through a gazettal, act or government file action.
