Primary Data Layers:

Parcels - Property boundaries (primary, non-primary, approved, road/hydro), note that parcel accuracies vary significantly with some areas highly accurate and some areas out by greater than 10-100 metres.
Marks - Survey marks including geodetic marks
Vectors - Boundary and non-boundary measurements
Survey Plans - Plan references and downloadable images
Infrastructure - Council data (where available)
Other - Territorial boundaries, place names, contours, historical aerial image

Layer Management

Turning Layers On/Off:

Select/Deselect layers to show/hide different data types

Scale-Dependent Display:

The zoom scale toggle in the right hand toolbar controls the level at which certain layers turn on and off, if you are working in a rural area and things are turning off too early while zooming out try the aA or AA option
