Urb.Works

Attributions

Urb.Works combines government planning data, map services, reference floor plans, and open-source software. This page summarises required credit; the full dependency list is in open-source notices.

Maps

Basemap tiles are served via MapLibre. Streets mode uses CARTO Voyager (OpenStreetMap + CARTO). Terrain and hybrid modes add Esri raster tiles with CARTO labels. Use the map attribution control (bottom-right) for the current providers.

Victorian data (Vicmap)

Locked parcel boundaries and related property layers are sourced from Vicmap services operated for the State of Victoria. When reusing this data, attribute it as required on DataVic:
