Description of this SeriesDescription of this Series
  • How to use the Records
    Consult the Consignment Details and select the desired unit.

  • Function / Content
    This record series comprises three large volumes of Plan Books. The first and second volumes in the series contain plan books of parishes. The plans were photolithographed by the Department of Lands and Survey in Melbourne. The date of production appears, usually, on the bottom of the plan. The plans provide ownership details in relation to the land parcels that the plans describe. Natural features are also captured in the plans. The Shire has annotated the plans with its own comments.

    Volume 3 also comprises plans. However they are plans of subdivisions prepared by vendors for the purpose of sale of parcels of land within those subdivisions. The plans are in the form of posters and include descriptions of the properties, names of the vendors and auctioneers, and particulars of the sale including conditions and dates. The condition of the plans in this volume is fragile.

  • Recordkeeping System
    In relation to Units 1 and 2, the contents of the plan books were described on the front cover with a number assigned to each plan. The plans were arranged within the respective books in that order. The plans in Unit 3 were not arranged in any particular order.
