LINZ & NZGO Finance Office of Strategy Management Human Resources NZ Geospatial Office Knowledge Management Project & Procurement Services Business & Regulatory Services Risk & Security Office Strategic Communications

Overview and Context • LINZ core role of information management: includes working across wider land information sector to ensure ready access to geospatial information • LINZ strategic direction includes leadership role to grow the NZ geospatial sector • NZGO - Championing the NZ Geospatial Strategy a government priority for LINZ and a LINZ key initiative • NZGO - raising awareness of untapped economic potential of increased geospatial information use for New Zealand

Benefits Smarter and more efficient use of geospatial data and associated technology has the potential to: • Make government process more efficient and effective • Foster an environment of innovation • Grow the economy – Economics Report by ACIL Tasman – Number of benefits and Case Studies – http: //www. geospatial. govt. nz/productivityreport/

NZ Geospatial Strategy Document

New Zealand Geospatial Strategy Key Principles: • Geospatial information is collected once to agreed standards, for use by many • Discovery and access of geospatial information is easy • Within the appropriate context, geospatial information is easy to understand, integrate, interpret, use • Geospatial information is readily available, and its use is not unduly restricted • Geospatial content is appropriately preserved, protected

New Zealand Geospatial Strategy

NZGS going forward Increase reuse of government held geospatial data • promoting standards to enable data sharing (interoperability) across multiple organisations. • by facilitating improved access through the development of a National Spatial Data Infrastructure, • supporting the development of frameworks for nationally significant datasets

NZGS Fundamental Data LINZ Data Service Future Work program • Geodetic Network • Elevation • Cadastre -property • Imagery • Address • Vegetation • Topography • Natural features • Hydrographic • Culture • Transport Networks

NZGS Spatial Data Infrastructure • Mechanism to share geospatial data from multiple sources to NZ • Examples – Auckland Spatial Plan – Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Agency • NZ Cabinet Paper - Open Data -Same principles will most likely eventually apply across all of Govt electronic data.

Publically Available Govt Data Examples • Govt geospatial data available on http: //www. geodata. govt. nz/ • TPK/Landcare's prototype tool for visualising Maori land (uses Maori Land Court data and Landcare land use data) http: //whenuaviz. landcareresearch. co. nz/ • Maori land on line from the Ministry of Justice http: //www. maorilandonline. govt. nz/gis/home. htm; js essionid=75095729434676284 C 2725753 CE 8 ACA 8

Publically Available Govt Data Examples • Walking Access Mapping System http: //wams. org. nz/wams/ • Contract Mapping from Min of Social Welfare http: //www. contractmapping. govt. nz/ • Land Cover Database II (Mf.

Where is your organisation at? • Just understanding GIS? • More than e-maps – realizing the power! • Have GIS but does your organisations data policies align with the NZGS objectives? – Collected Once, Available, Accessible, Integrate • Have good GIS systems but locked down and need to consider organizational policies relating to data access and availability? • Ready to share data via the SDI?
