The 2015/16 audit against Local Government addressing revealed a 97.42% match rate. Key validation fields are 'SOURCE' and 'SOURCE_VERIFIED', respectively indicating the address source and date last validated against that source. Quality Assurance and validation routines are constantly being developed and applied in order to minimize any discrepancies or errors that may exist therein. However, both historical and ongoing with current AS/NZS 4819:2011 by local governments, make this a work in progress. Data capture Typically Vicmap relies heavily on the agreements and with authoritative Custodians, MoU’s signed through the DELWP Custodianship Program, for its data. Vicmap Address relies primarily on Local Government for address. For unincorporated areas authoritative Custodians are sought for each, such as Alpine resorts and shopping centres. Data maintenance Vicmap products can change under one of the following three terms: Vicmap maintenance - The incorporation of new data to an existing dataset via an M1, spatial change requests or scheduled Custodial supply. No changes are made to the data or object model, therefore does not require change management processes. Additions can be seen in the weekly Vicmap update. Vicmap Improvements Changing existing data, example the moving of a feature or adding of – attributes. Typically carried out as part of a project through the provision of new Custodial data requiring change management. Vicmap upgrades Significant changes to a dataset that may see existing data over a large – area replaced and/or may require the data model changed. Change management processes are applied. Approximately 5% of all maintenance advice notices processed are separately audited by DELWP to confirm accuracy, completeness and correctness in the capture process.
