Building resilient urban communities starts with understanding and adapting to climate change. In this article we explore how Earth Observation (EO) tools like satellite imagery are helping cities map and enhance tree canopy and vegetation cover. Discover how this data drives strategies for cooler, greener, and healthier urban spaces.
Spatial Vision has been honoured with two prestigious awards at the 2024 Geospatial Council of Australia’s Excellence Awards. These awards – the International Partnership Award and the Technical Excellence Award – underscore our dedication to innovation, collaboration, and making a positive impact in the geospatial industry.
In early 2024, Spatial Vision was contracted by the Australian Government to improve the representation and management of drone rules across Australia to ensure clear and accurate communication to the public.
As part of the larger Enterprise Spatial Platform, Spatial Vision was able to test and develop the metadata platform Metashare in collaboration with DEECA and CSIRO. The finished platform is a modern metadata portal that will be used by Victorian government stakeholders for years to come.
Geoscience and data analysis are formidable fields. Both demand dedication, experience, skill and time.

Connectivity is widely used in government biodiversity policy, but there is limited linkage between models and field evidence. Spatial Vision’s insights into the validation of the NSW DCCEEW Biodiversity Indicator Program’s connectivity layer addressed challenges determining whether migratory birds align with identified connectivity pathways.
With the help of Spatial Vision, the Climate Council have release the Climate Heat Map of Australia – an interactive tool that shows how cutting climate pollution will limit extreme heat in our neighbourhoods.
Victoria’s Open Space Strategy 2021 for metropolitan Melbourne required Spatial Vision to develop a spatial framework to inform investment priorities and funding for open space actions supporting biodiversity, climate resilience, health and social-economic benefits.
Changes are being made to the system that underlies Australia’s location information. The changes will bring Australia’s national latitude and longitude coordinates into line with global satellite positioning systems, enabling smartphones and other positioning technologies to accurately locate features marked on our maps.
