Modernising Land Administration Systems - Victorian ePlan Project | Hamed Olfat, DELWP

To achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries require access to an effective, efficient and modern land administration system (LAS) based on a cadastre engine that contains spatially accurate land parcels and corresponding rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs). This presentation explores the role and requirements of a modern LAS for supporting SDGs. It will discuss that SDGs, depending on their nature, have either a direct or an indirect relationship with LAS. Direct relationship means that a specific goal cannot be achieved at all without a LAS (e.g. Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable). Whereas, an indirect relationship means that a specific goal might not be efficiently achieved without a LAS (e.g. Goal 4. Ensure inclusive
and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all). The presentation will also review a significant milestone of the LAS
modernisation journey in Victoria, namely ePlan project implementation, to
support SDGs.
