Topographic mapping in Australia : the future state
Scott, Greg
Geoscience Australia (GA), and its national mapping predecessors, has been responsible for mapping the topography of the Australian continent at national scales since 1956. The State and Territory mapping and land titles agencies have the mandate and responsibility to map their jurisdictional topography and cadastre at medium to large scales. These activities are coordinated through ANZLIC the Spatial Information Council, and the Intergovernmental Committee for Surveying and Mapping (ICSM). GA represents the Australian Government on each of these peak bodies. The National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI) was established by GA in 2004, with the mantra capture once and use manyy. NTICI takes a whole of Australia approach to the collection, provision and maintenance of topographic and related information to meet the needs of governments and the public adding value to the topographic layers of Australiaas spatial data infrastructure.
