Digitisation of land boundary records completed

The Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department has successfully completed the digitisation of all land boundary records in Hong Kong into the Land Information System.

Announcing this today (Sunday), a spokesman for the department said land boundary records were essential reference for land developers, construction firms, engineering consultants, public utility companies and other government departments in planning, land administration and engineering development.

"The availability of such records in digital format will enable them to identify the boundary of a certain land lot and its relevant information in a much quicker and easier way.

"The land boundary digital data is also available in a number of popular graphical formats so that users can make use of the data under different computer environments," the spokesman said.
