Abstract
Abstract. A significant number of studies has been carried out to establish 3D cadastre solutions to improve the registration of multi-level property. Since the inception of research on 3D cadastres (about 20 years ago), the world around us has changed significantly and this also partly changes the context regarding 3D cadastre: technology (e.g. visualisation of 3D information), acquisition techniques and BIM data availability, and policy and organisational structures. This paper aims to explore the implications of these changes on 3D cadastre research with a view to discussing considerations for a contemporary 3D cadastre for our times. The paper draws on social and technical trends, challenges, and gaps around 3D cadastre practices from three jurisdictions: the Australian state of Victoria, the Netherlands, and Singapore. The cases have been selected as examples of well-functioning and highly trusted cadastres and land registries committed to innovation in this area, and whose practitioners and researchers are leading the research in this domain. This set provides a breadth of insight that informs our discussion. However, we acknowledge the limitations of the findings as the research undertaken in these jurisdictions is not complicated by other issues with registration or cadastres as they may occur in other countries.

Increasing structural complexity and a growing trend towards using high-rise buildings for residential or mixed-use purposes has impacted on the design and layout of private and common property restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs). Bugden (2005) paints a scenario, which located in Sydney, is likely to mirror development in any number of cities around the world:“This project (King Street Wharf at Darling Harbour in Sydney) is a mixed use staged development comprising nine tower buildings, the majority of which are built over a common basement that houses shared parking, facilities and equipment
In this paper we investigate three jurisdictions - the Australian state of Victoria, the Netherlands, and Singapore - to identify trends, challenges and gaps around 3D cadastre practices (Section 5) with a view to discussing considerations for a contemporary 3D cadastre (Section 6)
Summary
Increasing structural complexity and a growing trend towards using high-rise buildings for residential or mixed-use purposes has impacted on the design and layout of private and common property RRRs. “This project (King Street Wharf at Darling Harbour in Sydney) is a mixed use staged development comprising nine tower buildings, the majority of which are built over a common basement that houses shared parking, facilities and equipment. One large building is under freehold strata title. Part of the Sydney public road network passes over the basements and a bus interchange facility and large commercial marina facility interfaces with the complex. The uses comprise retail, commercial offices, serviced apartments, residential apartments, restaurants, entertainment venues and charter boat operations” These are the types of complex high-rise structures that are the mainstream model in urban environments – and set to become ever more complex
