Select the coordinate type (projection)
Type in the coordinates for the point you are searching for. Either Easting and Northing or Latitude and Longitude.
Select the map radius
The result will be a map with your point in the centre.
Enter the description in the appropriate fields.
A Crown description is commonly one "level" - eg. Allotment 1.
It can also have two "levels" - eg. Allotment 3 Section 2.
In Mildura, there are often three "levels" - eg. Allotment 12 Section 32 Block E.
In some parishes, it can be Portion 3 Section 2, rather than Allotment 3 Section 2.
A Crown description must always have a Parish or Township name.
You can select this from the list - township names are followed by (T) - or start typing it in.
If you start typing in the Parish/Township Name field, the list above will change to show only those names starting with what you have typed in.
For example, if you type in A, the list will show all names starting wth A.
If you type in Ab, the list will show only one name - Aberfeldy (T).
If you type in Aba, there will be no names in the list, since no parish/township names start with Aba.
The name showing in the list will be the one used for the search - you do not have to click on the list to actually select the name.
When a search is successful, the map will zoom to the parcel or area. However, if the search critera is not unique, you will be given a list of matching results.
If this search is not successful you can enter a partial description.

The result if successful, will be a Melway (or Vicroads) grid square display on the map.
The edition used for both Melway and Vicroads is shown.
PFI stands for Persistent Feature Identifier, and is the number used to identify an item in the database.
Enter the PFI number
The local council allocates a Property Number to each property - this may be shown on the Council's rates notice.
The rates notice may show an "assessment number". Commonly this is not the property number - instead it is the "invoice number" for that year's rates. This assessment number cannot be used for searching.
Enter the Property number
Select the council name from the list - or you can enter the code number instead
The local council often does not allocate street address numbers until a house is constructed, although street names are generally shown on the plan of subdivision.
This option allows you to search for a lot number on a street.
Enter the lot number

PFI stands for Persistent Feature Identifier, and is the number used to identify an item in the database.
There are two separate tables in the database - PARCEL contains information about the parcel, while PARCEL_VIEW contains the linework needed to display the polygon.
Each PARCEL record has a VIEW_PFI value pointing to the PARCEL_VIEW table.
When we do not have the boundaries of individual parcels - eg. units in a block of flats - several parcels may have the same VIEW_PFI value.
Enter the VIEW_PFI number

There are several categories of survey labels - displayed in different colours.
These can be turned on/off separately - see Build Map.
"Superseded" labels are shown as <label> - the search checks for these as well.
Enter the Survey Label
Survey Marks may be Permanent Marks (named by Parish) or other types (eg. PCMs).
As you type in the Mark Name field, the Parish list above displays the possible parish names for you to select.
Each mark has a nine-digit identifier which you can enter.
Some marks, eg Bench Marks, have a number stamped on the plaque which you can enter.
Enter one of the mark identifiers.
Elastic Search is a complete over-haul to the way search is performed in LASSI that is significantly more intuitive, easy-to-use and more in-line with modern search facilities.
As you may have already noticed, we have also made a few changes to the way LASSI looks with this change. The new search feature is able to accommodate the majority of the searches you would typically perform. Therefore, the Search Panel that contains LASSI's traditional search options is no longer displayed by default when you first come into LASSI. Details on how this panel can be accessed is further along.
The new search field for LASSI is prominently placed at the top center of the map area.
You can simply start typing in the new search field to start finding what you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for an address, when you start typing the address, LASSI will start showing addresses matching what you are typing. As you type more details of the address, for example, start with a street number, then type the street name and then the area/suburb, LASSI will refine the results it will show you. LASSI will start automatically looking for matches when you type 3 characters or more.
When LASSI starts finding matches for what you are typing, by default, LASSI will list all types of features it finds. For example, the search results could include addresses, street names, survey labels, place names, survey marks, etc. The type of each search result (whether it's an address, road name, etc) is indicated by the bold text on the left of each row of results. If you want to restrict your search only to a specific type (for example, if you are looking only for addresses), then you can select that type by selecting its respective label from the list on the left. Once you select a specific search type, LASSI will only display results matching the type you have selected.
This allows you to switch map layers on and off to give you a different look to your interactive map.
This can be used to clarify the area you are looking at, or to remove superfluous information.
To add or remove map layers from the map, check or uncheck the box for that layer, then use the "Refresh map" button.
Greyed out boxes mean the layer is not available at this scale.
Click on the red star next to the layer name, and the map will zoom to a scale suitable to show this layer.
The list of layers is dynamic, and you can close (or open) some of the folders by clicking on the folder symbol.
The following image shows two examples of the same area, but with different layers.
The legend shows the map symbology.
Where a symbol changes at different scales, both symbology is shown in the legend. eg Roads appear as thicker lines on small scale mpas (such as the whole of Victoria) and as a thinner line on medium scale maps (such as the Melbourne Metro area.)
Not all layers are available at all scales.
Some of these layers specifically need to be switched on with Build Map tool
Toggle the Map between Map (base map), Imagery or Victoria (layers selected).
Click on the map once to zoom in by a factor of 2.
To zoom in to a smaller area on the map, click on the top left corner of the area you want, and holding down the mouse button, drag the cursor to the bottom right of the area. A blue rectangle shows the area you select.
Zoom in by clicking | Zoom in by dragging a box |
Click on the map to zoom out by a factor of 2.
Zoom out by clicking | Zoom out by clicking on the map |
Fill in the box to the scale you want the map to be. eg for a map scale of 1:5,000, type in 5000
Move around the map at the same scale. Click a point on the map, and drag it to where you want it moved to.
Click on points around the shape. A red line will be drawn between the points.
"Total" is the cumulative distance of the red line. "Distance" is the distance between the points.
In the example, the first point is on the right (next to number 8).
The next 5 points are along the curve of the road, and the most recent point is on the back boundary.
The accuracy is dependent on the map data, and the scale of the map, and on how closely you click on the boundary of the property.
In the example, we have stylised the curve into short straight segments.
One advantage of this method is that you can measure several properties as if they are one.
Click on points around the shape. A red line will be drawn between the points.
A line will be drawn from the first to last point to close the polygon (at least 3 points).
"Total" is the cumulative distance of the red line. "Area" is the area of the shape you have drawn.
The accuracy is dependent on the map data, and the scale of the map, and on how closely you click on the boundary of the property.
The shape cannot cross over itself - you will see a message "your polygon is not valid".
One advantage of this method is that you can measure several properties as if they are one.
When you do a search for a property (using address, lot/plan, etc), the selected property is highlighted. This tool redraws the map without that highlight.
The print tool will open a new window with a map at the same scale as you see on the map screen. Use your browser's print button to print this new page.
Note - the Interactive map does not give you any options when printing - some other maps may do so.
Unlike most web sites, you cannot "right-click" on the map image and save it - you must use this tool.
Click on the tool and a window will pop up asking you to Open or Save the image file.
The file name is made up from the site_name, the date and time, and the map projection - eg. lassi_map_image_vg.png
- the image is in png (Portable Network Graphics) format.
If the aerial photography layer is displayed (not available on all maps) the saved image will include this as well.
Unlike most web sites, you cannot "right-click" on the map image and save it - you must use this tool.
A georeferenced file has a second "world" file which includes the coordinates and size of the image so another program can display the image in the correct location.
As the Vicgrid94 projection we use for our maps is not widely known, a copy of the image is rotated to the MGA (Map Grid of Australia) projection - this is explained in the "image_readme.txt" file included in the zip file.
Click on the tool and a window will pop up asking you to Open or Save the zip file.
The file name is made up from the site_name, the date and time, and the map projection - eg. interactive_0614_120710_vg.png
- the image is in png (Portable Network Graphics) format.
If the aerial photography layer is displayed (not available on all maps) the saved image will include this as well.
Selecting one of the Councils on the list will zoom the map to that council area.
This is a faster way of zooming in to a specific area.
The main map area is default to north orientation. When moving your cursor over the main map area, two sets of coordinates appear in the status bar of your browser. The first set is the VicGrid GDA2020 Easting and Northing, and the second set is the Geographical (Latitude and Longitude) coordinates.
Depending on the scale of the map and the location in Victoria, you will either get Vicmap data, Melway or Vicroads directories. These data layers automatically switch on and off as you zoom in or out. You can however, use Build Map to change these defaults.
Boundaries from the Australian Bureau of Statistics determine whether properties are in "Built Up" areas. This is so property boundaries can be shown at different scales in different areas.
eg, generally, urban properties are small, and are visible at large scales (up to 1:8,000), while rural properties are large, needing to be visible at small scales (up to 1:100,000). A property has been classified as "Urban" if any portion of that property is inside the ABS Built Up area, so many urban properties extend outside the actual Built Up Area boundaries.
You will need to zoom in on the urban area to see the actual properties.
When you search for a property, it will appear highlighted in a different colour.

Apart from fair dealing for the purposes of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under copyright legislation, no part may be reproduced or reused for any commercial purposes whatsoever.
The bar scale is 1/5 of the map width. The map scale will recalculate so the bar scale shows a rounded figure (eg 1:2500 rather than 1:2487) This is due to popular demand that the map and bar scale be measured easily.
North is grid north on a Vicgrid GDA2020 projection.
This shows the approximate coordinates of the current location of the cursor, rounded when appropriate for the scale of the map.
The coordinates are shown as MGA (Map Grid of Australia)(Easting/Northing), Geographical (Latitude/Longitude) and Vicgrid2020 (Easting/Northing).
MGA coordinates can be zone 54 (approximately west of Ballarat) or zone 55 (east of Ballarat), but coordinates for both zones are shown near the zone boundary.
The datum is GDA2020. To convert the coordinates to another projection you can download AMGVG Conversion Software.
