Corporate GIS uses a 26-digit code for all cadastral parcels. The advantages of a standardised code are numerous, including:

• A single standard adopted by all council departments and utilities, agencies and corporatised entities;
• Easier integration of data from different departments; and
• Ability to link to surveyor-general data.
