The marine cadastre is an important topic for research both internationally, and particularly in Australia. With this in mind, Department of Geomatics at the University of Melbourne is involved in different national and international collaborative research projects. The main objectives of these activities are looking at defining the issues to be considered in the context of developing an Australian marine cadastre and facilitation for the development of a set of guidelines appropriate to the Asian and Pacific region for the design of marine cadastres.This report aims to describe both national and international activities and involvement of the Marine Cadastral Research Group at Department of Geomatics, University of Melbourne. The report provides an overview of the incentive, objectives and principle tasks as well as the results of current research activities. These activities aims to act as an aid in designing the features and capabilities of a future marine cadastre for Australia.
