ePlan Overview

ePlan is a digital data file in LandXML data format which represents cadastral and administrative information related to a plan. ePlan improves data quality, minimises duplication, and paves the way for end-to-end digital data workflows throughout the lifecycle of a plan. This enables streamlining and automation of existing manual processes for faster, reliable, and consistent plan registration.

The data contained in an ePlan includes:

•  survey measurements and parcel dimensions
•  easement, road and reserve information
•  land parcel descriptions and identifiers
•  administrative information
•  owner’s corporation schedules, and more

Surveyors create ePlan using the SCFF methodology, which uses a DXF CAD file as the basis for providing plan and survey geometries. The SCFF is converted to ePlan using the ePlan Portal and its associated services which validate the ePlan and allow for additional administrative data to be supplied (for example, easement information). The following ePlan tools and services are available from the ePlan Portal and described in more detail in the ePlan FAQs.

•  ePlan Dashboard
•  ePlan Editor
•  SCFF Validation Service
•  ePlan Validation Service
•  ePlan Validation Report
•  Plan Visualisation Service
•  ePlan Visualisation Enhancement Tool

Used collectively the ePlan Portal and its services provide the interface to allow a surveyor to upload and validate their SCFF and produce an ePlan that can be used in new or existing SPEAR applications.

All Applicant Contact SPEAR users can access the ePlan portal once they have logged into SPEAR.
