How to find your property boundary in Victoria

Search a Victorian street address on MapMyLot to see the mapped boundary, area and perimeter using Vicmap cadastral data. Five daily lookups are free with no account needed. Government viewers such as LASSI and MapshareVic also accept addresses; MapMyLot brings the parcel and available property readouts into one view.

What the readout panel shows

Alongside the boundary, the readout shows land area in square metres and hectares and perimeter in metres. Where the address falls inside covered proximity data, it also shows straight-line distance to the nearest high-voltage power line, mapped flood zone, the coast, and the nearest park - measured from the parcel's full boundary rather than a single point, so an irregular lot's closest edge is never understated.

Vicmap versus a street address search

Vicmap Property is the underlying cadastral dataset. Viewers such as LASSI, MapshareVic and MapMyLot can show it from an address search, so a title reference is not a prerequisite for a visual check. Use the official plan or a registered surveyor when the legal boundary matters.

Note: cadastral boundary data is subject to positional variation by location and source dataset. For a legally binding boundary determination - for example to resolve a fence line dispute or confirm a setback - engage a registered surveyor licensed in Victoria.

Free to check, Pro for unlimited

Five address lookups a day are free, with no account required - enough to check a handful of Victorian properties. MapMyLot Pro, at A$19.99 a month, removes the daily limit and adds unlimited PDF boundary reports, useful for agents, buyers comparing several properties, or anyone doing repeat lookups. A single PDF report is also available for A$4.99 without a subscription.

Vicmap cadastral data is refreshed on the state's own update schedule, so a very recent subdivision may take time to appear. If a search returns no boundary for a brand-new lot, that generally means the subdivision has not yet been registered in the source dataset rather than an error in the search.

Check the accuracy for your decision

Vicmap Property's official product information describes variable spatial accuracy. Displaying a precise number does not make the parcel a survey. Confirm a fence position, setback or disputed boundary with a registered surveyor.

Check an address in three steps

1. Open the map, enter the street address and select the matching result.
2. Confirm the highlighted parcel is the one you meant to check, then read its area and perimeter.
3. Use satellite view for visual context and review the available readouts. If the parcel or figures do not match your documents, investigate the difference before relying on them.

What to do after your first check

Confirm you have the right parcel, then compare its mapped size and shape with the listing or your documents. If you need a copy for your own research, a one-off PDF property report costs A$4.99. For repeated checks, Pro costs A$19.99/month and includes unlimited lookups and PDF reports. Compare the options after checking the address. Reports are informational and do not replace a survey or title search.
