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

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 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

land (uses Maori Land Court data and Landcare land
use data)

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?
