Our new custom maps option means you can create your own maps of anywhere in Victoria.

Users can create a map over Victoria at 12 different scales. Maps start at a 1:4 M state-wide view and go down to a 1:2 500 cadastral view to see individual property boundaries.

Custom maps can be created at A4 or A3 size optimised for print, in landscape or portrait layout. You can even add your own title to the map.

The generated maps are GeoPDFs so they can be downloaded onto mobile devices for use in the field without internet access.
