In the world of data, “rubbish in, rubbish out” is a common saying for a reason. Poor quality data leads to poor quality decisions and that’s not acceptable in today’s competitive landscape.
At Spatial Vision, we work closely with clients to support their data transformation and improvement initiatives to ensure their geospatial data is of the highest quality, enabling accurate and effective outcomes for day-to-day operations, processes, decision-making, story-telling and planning.
Commencing January 2000, GDA94 was adopted as the national geodetic datum. As a result, locations of mapped features aligned with the geocentric reference used by GPS receivers. Notwithstanding, at the time, GPS was accurate to approximately 10 metres.
Some twenty years later, it is time to update the national geodetic reference system again. GDA2020 reflects the latest changes to the system that underlies Australia’s location information. The GDA2020 datum changes will bring Australia’s national latitude and longitude coordinates into line with global satellite positioning systems. Correspondingly, smartphones and other positioning technologies will be able to accurately locate features marked on our maps.
Industry and government agencies with an investment in spatial data, systems and processes will need to update their data, systems and practices to reflect the new GDA2020 datum. Spatial Vision’s GDA2020 services include assistance, advice and support to ensure your data’s compatibility with GDA2020;
To set your organisation’s investment in spatial data and processes on the right path accordingly, contact Spatial Vision and ask about our GDA2020 services.
The Victoria Government’s major investment in Digital Cadastre Modernisation (DCM) realigned the state’s 4.2 million land parcels to improve their spatial accuracy. Spatial Vision’s experts provide a DCM data readiness and alignment service so that organisations can benefit from the investment in DCM to boost their productivity and confidence in property related decisions.
Spatial Vision’s team of experts have an intimate knowledge of DCM that can assist organisations to confidently plan and undertake the integration of the enhanced Vicmap product suite with their own business data.
Our unique position in undertaking the adjustment of the cadastre has given us a comprehensive understanding of the datasets impacted by Victoria’s DCM project. Spatial Vision has developed processes to undertake the alignment of an organisation’s assets to the adjusted Vicmap product suite. This process includes processes and different adjustment treatments tailored to your requirements.
As a first step our team undertakes a data audit to diagnose the impact of DCM on your business data. The audit will inform our recommendations on how and where to implement realignment, if required. By reviewing operational workflows and processes we can also identify areas that will require changes or improvements to maximise the benefits of the enhanced data.
Spatial Vision has automated processes to assess your existing data to identify;
Identify assets likely to be impacted by DCM (in scope of adjustment service);
Identify assets NOT likely to be impacted by DCM (out-of scope of adjustment service). Not all of your data will need to be aligned to adjusted cadastral boundaries. The lists below describes data that should NOT be adjusted and it is important to identify the consultation to identify;
Adjust corporate assets to align with the realigned Vicmap boundaries. Our processes will identify the best approach for datasets to realign them. This may be a combination of;
The DCM impacts not only parcel data it also impact on many other datasets which have a dependency on Vicmap Parcel such as planning boundaries, features of interest and perhaps even Vicmap Transport. Our experience with DCM and Vicmap will help you to address any other issues that may be associated with update.
A property or location’s address is vital for many purposes. For example. consider the efficient dispatch and arrival of an ambulance or fire engine. The property or location feature’s address is represented on a map by a point that is generally understood to be where access is gained. In effect, where you would expect the emergency vehicle to arrive? Hence the accuracy of the point location as well as address description are vital. Too often the address description and location data held by many organisations for their clients and assets are not accurate or reliable.
Spatial Vision’s experts can provide your organisation with an Address Data Improvement & Audit Report by undertaking a geocoding process, which will audit the address data that you hold to validate it, populate missing attributes and rectify mistakes in the address descriptions.
Our services will assist you by;
In addition to improving your addressing data, the Spatial Vison team can provide location-based business intelligence and mapping from your addressing information.
