How to find a street address from a lot and plan number in Victoria

Every piece of land in Victoria is recorded against a plan and, within that plan, a lot. Together they identify the parcel of land — but they don't tell you the street address, and a street address doesn't always appear on a title. This guide shows you how to go from a lot and plan number to a street address (and back) using free tools.

Understand the number you have

A lot and plan reference is usually written as lot/plan — for example 1/PS741234 means Lot 1 on Plan Subdivision 741234. Common plan types you will see in Victoria:

PS — Plan of Subdivision (modern subdivisions, e.g. 1/PS741234)
SP — Strata/Section plan (units and townhouses, e.g. 2/SP12345)
LP / TP — Lodged / Title plans (older subdivisions, e.g. 10/LP12345)
CA — Crown Allotments (rural and older land, e.g. CA Sec 12 Parish of Yuroke)

You'll find the lot and plan on a Victorian certificate of title, in a section 32 vendor statement, on a contract of sale, on planning permits, and often on council rate notices.

Method 1: Instant lookup (free)

The fastest way is a dedicated lot and plan search. On our free Victorian land & property search, simply type the lot and plan:

Type 1/PS741234 — you get the street address, suburb, postcode, approximate land size and a map pin.
Add the suburb if the lot number is common (lots repeat across different plans — 1/PS741234 and 1/PS741235 both contain Lot 1).
You can also paste an SPI with a backslash, like 1\PS741234 — that's how Vicmap writes it internally.

Method 2: Official government tools (free)

Property and parcel search — land.vic.gov.au. Search the SPI (lot and plan separated by a slash) in the Global Search tool.
VicPlan — vicplan.planning.vic.gov.au. Planning-focused map viewer; good for zoning and overlays around a parcel.
MapShareVic — mapshare.vic.gov.au. DEECA's general map viewer with parcel search.

Why your lot and plan search may fail

1. The lot number alone is ambiguous

There is a "Lot 1" in thousands of plans across Victoria. Always include the plan number, or pair the lot with a suburb.

2. The parcel has no street address yet

New subdivisions and rural land often have parcels with no linked street address — the address is created when a dwelling is connected to a street. The parcel still exists; it just has no address to show.

3. Multi-lot properties

One street address can cover several parcels (a house on two titles), and one parcel can hold several addresses (units on one title). Searching the address may return multiple parcels — check the lot and plan to pick the right one.

4. Old descriptions

Very old land may be described as "Crown Allotment 4, Section 2, Parish of Keelup" rather than a modern plan number. Search the parish and allotment, or use MapShareVic's parcel search.

Note: results from any Vicmap-based tool are indicative. For legal confirmation of boundaries or ownership, order an official title search through LANDATA or a title search provider.
