Supporting Victorian Local Government GIS since 2003
The Local Government Spatial Reference Group (LGSRG) is a MAV committee of GIS leaders and officers throughout the Victorian LGA sector seeking to represent LGA GIS services as a single entity and uplift capability in an ever changing landscape. LGSRG is led by the strategic vision from its 2013 Strategy:
“Appropriate and effective geospatial capability is recognised as fundamental to council efficiency and service delivery.”
The LGSRG leads a program of work including the Good Practice Benchmark Survey.
Take part in this year’s survey and get a free copy of the results to help your council benchmark its GIS capabilities (VIC councils only).
Is your council adopting GIS good practice?
With more than 60% of Australia’s local government leaders considering undertaking a smart city/region project, your council needs to know where it stands with its GIS capability.
Share where you’re at in the Good Practice Benchmark Survey (open to VIC councils), and benchmark your results in the report to follow.
The annual survey is built on the GIS Good Practice Framework (GPF), which defines good practice for GIS and geospatial data utilisation across five proficiency areas.
The GPF helps your council understand your level of adoption of sector-wide accepted ‘GIS related good practices’. In addition, the survey enables everyone to see how much the whole sector is improving and compare your council against others.
Survey preparation
To help you gather the necessary information to complete your survey submission, we’ve created an excel file that you can download and share with your colleagues. This contains all the survey questions and will help to ensure you’ve got all the data required to complete the full online survey.
