PROV Historic Plans Collection 1836-1984

Created 01/08/2025

The 'Historic Plans Collection' was gathered together by the Lands Department as a collation of important early survey work done in Victoria. The plans are organised into 48 collections based on their purpose - road surveys, surveys of the coast and rivers, mining locations and so on. This dataset contains all the metadata that we have about the plans, including title, date, and frequently notes on scale, features and the surveyor responsible. The data includes names of parishes and townships each plan covers. This information can be geocoded using data maintained on data.vic.gov.au by the Department of Primary Industries.
