The ACT Districts Boundaries are a region defined for land administration and the legal description of land parcels. In urban areas districts contain divisions, sections and blocks. In rural areas they contain blocks only. The boundaries of districts are defined in metres and bounds form in the Districts Act 1966, and thus cannot be changed without changes to the legislation. A district may contain a number of divisions; however some divisions may be in two districts (e.g.Red Hill)

The attributes of an area of land identified as an individual unit on a Units Plan, and subject to an individual lease within the unit development shown on the same Units Plan. Class B Units represent a footprint of a residential or commercial unit on the ground. The boundary is defined by a surveyed line around the land the unit sits on. Unit boundaries are created by entering data that has been submitted by registered unit plans.

The ACT Divisions are a region defined for land administration and the legal description of land parcels. Division boundaries may overlap District boundaries but must not overlap the ACT border. Division boundaries are defined by registered survey, and are subject to change. The ACT Divisions data set depicst the authoritative boundaries and names of suburbs for addressing and location purposes.

The position and extents of a parcel of land, usually the smallest unit of land that can be held under an individual lease without a requirement for further subdivision. URBAN blocks are defined as blocks that appear within a division and have division and section identifiers. RURAL blocks do not usually appear within a division, but may do so if they remain from before the division was created. Blocks may have a lifecycle stage or Proposed, Registered, Approved, Occupied or Retired.PROPOSED: The block is proposed but has not reached any other stage.REGISTERED: The block appears on a Deposited Plan that has been registered with the Land Titles Office.APPROVED: The block appears on an Approved Plan that has been signed by the Territory Planning Section and the Project Officer for the development.OCCUPIED: The block is leased, but does not appear on a registered plan. Leases over unregistered blocks may not be registered at the Land Titles Office, so this stage is used for unregistered blocks with unregistered leases. This normally only occurs in rural areas.RETIRED: Retirement of a block occurs when it is replaced by another block.Note that block boundaries may not always align exactly. The legal definition of a block is defined in the Deposited plan.

Coordinate System is MGA2020-55 (EPSG #7855). The physical boundary between two road reserve segments that prevents vehicular access; or the boundary of applicability of a road name between two road reserve segments that do not belong to the same road where one road runs into another (and hence there is no physical boundary or indication). The type of physical boundary relevant in each case is defined by the VEHICLE_RESTRICTION_FLAG attribute. A value of 0 is "Unrestricted Delimeter" and 1 is "Restricted R-Section".

Contracts conferring a secondary interest in a block of land for some particular purpose, and covering several blocks, a block or only part of a block

The ACT Boundary is a single region defined for land administration and the legal description of the Australian Capital Territory. The ACT boundary is defined in metes and bounds in the in the Districts Act 1966, and cannot be changed without changes to the legislation. The ACT Border was first defined by surveyors between 1910 and 1915, it was redefined by surveyors again between 2003 and 2008. The original border is defined by metes and bounds description in the Seat of Governance ACT 1909, the current ACT Border definition is shown on survey plans held at the ACT Environment, Planning and Sustainable Delivery Directorate. The ACT Boundary is 306 kilometers, covering an area of 2,358 kilometers squared. The ACT is bounded by the Goulburn-Cooma railway line in the east, the watershed of Naas Creek in the south, the watershed of the Cotter River in the west.Coordinate System is MGA2020-55 (EPSG #7855).

Sections are a small grouping of blocks (usually less than 50) defined for land administration purposes. Section boundaries do not overlap each other or Districts and Divisions. They exist only within urban areas. Section boundaries are often defined using physical features such as roads, so as to aggregate a manageable number of blocks of similar type.

Easements give rights for specific purposes over part of a block that is leased. Easements may or may not be registered on the lease. Easements are captured from deposited plans or survey plans defining a cadastral. Easement areas include: Sewer, Water, Gas, Electricity and Storm water. The Easement data sets depict the defined areas allowing third party rights over part of a leased block for specific utility or access purposes.

The position and extents of the centreline of the air / light rail / railway / road or water transport feature. Segments are defined by intersections, with a segment running from one intersection to the next.Coordinate System is MGA2020-55 (EPSG #7855).
