VICTORIA · PUBLIC LAND INDEX

Every council has a node before anyone claims anything about it.

A council does not join Substriva and cannot be left out of it. All 79 are listed because they exist in law, not because they take part. What differs between them is only how far we have got, and that distance is shown rather than smoothed over.

Not yet searched. This manager has a node in the index because it exists, not because we have looked at it. Nothing has been checked here, so nothing can be read into the blank. A logged automated search is a search log, not a review of a council's records and not evidence of participation.

All 79 searches are overdue for recheck (due 6 Oct 2026). Results below are as of 6 Sept 2026.

What each state means

Indexed
A node exists because the council exists. Nothing has been searched here yet.
Search blocked
The automated search could not read this council's pages because its site refused or did not answer the robots check. Nothing was inspected here.
Searched, no source found
An automated discovery search ran and found no candidate source. This is not a claim that no source exists, and a search is not a review.
Sources found
Documents were located and are awaiting or undergoing human review.
Reviewer-checked records
At least one claim has been checked by a person against a dated source and published.

If a comparison is ever drawn

Substriva does not score councils and will not publish a table of who is doing badly. Where a comparison appears it is between measurable properties of documents a manager has already chosen to publish, and the method sits next to the result:

Freshness
Age of the most recent dated source we hold, measured from its publication date.
Subject completeness
How many of the listed subject areas have a source, out of the subjects we searched.
Spatial precision
Whether a document identifies a named site, a mapped area, or neither.
Machine readability
Whether the same information is available as structured data rather than only as a PDF.
Dated scheduling
Whether planned works carry dates rather than a season or no date at all.

A council with little on this page may publish thoroughly somewhere we have not looked. Point us at the right page, or correct what is already here.
