Cadastral Data
Cadastral data represents the foundation of land administration. It includes the mapping of land parcels, their boundaries, and legal subdivisions, which are crucial for land ownership, property registration, urban planning, and taxation.
The CDNGI Geoportal provides cadastral datasets covering the Cape Town study area. The data is categorized into Farms, Lease Areas, Allotment Township, and Suburb Boundaries, supporting various applications in land governance and spatial planning.
Farms
This dataset includes farm portions and original farms within the Cape Town area. Each polygon outlines a legal parcel with a unique identifier. It supports cadastral referencing, land valuation, and historical land records.
Lease Areas
Lease areas represent portions of land leased for specific uses, such as agriculture or municipal utilities. The dataset aids in managing leased public or private lands and their associated rights and obligations.
Allotment Township
Allotment townships are smaller subdivided parcels within towns or villages. This dataset includes detailed records of urban cadastral units useful for land allocation, urban growth monitoring, and title deed registration.
Suburb Boundaries
Suburb boundaries define the spatial extent of residential suburbs in Cape Town. This layer supports demographic studies, service delivery, and urban zoning operations.
