REVIEW OF ACTION ITEMS (see complete action list at the end of the minutes)
2.
SLICP PORTAL PRESENTATION
Robert gave a demonstration of the new State Land Information Capture Program (SLICP) Portal,
which is being developed to record data capture requests. The SLICP portal uses cloud services and
GME. Data search capability extends to SLIP. The aim is to have the SLICP portal ready for use early in
2014.
3.
WALIS and LOCATION INFORMATION STRATEGY UPDATE
SLIP future project
 The initial build (Project 1) and stakeholder engagement (Project 2) is now complete. Project 3 has
commenced which focuses on migrating existing SLIP users and implementing new SLIP portals.
 A new WA SLIP Map portal (Google Earth & Google Map) has been developed and will be launched to
the media in late October.
 The second SLIP information session was held on 26 September. Two more sessions are planned to
be held at Landgate Cloisters on 24 October and 21 November from 1 to 2pm.
 Using SLIP GME for data dissemination and Geo Cortex for data management, DoT is developing
three portals for: 1. Port Authorities, 2. Industry and 3. A mobile application to manage oil spill
response. Steven James is working with Darren Mottolini to develop this.
Regional and Urban Scenario Planning (RUSP)
Funding for this project will be transferred by Landgate and Department of Treasury to the lead
agency, Department of Planning, to deliver the outcomes of RUSP. Department of Planning has
finalised the RUSP project initiation document.

MEETING NOTES & REPORTS
Chris has finalised updates for the northern part of WA. Updates were requested from SPOT 6 for the
area between Broome and Londonderry.
NACC LiDAR application
The NACC Lidar application was NOT successful. Mark Canny (Climate Change Coordinator at
Department of Environmental Health and Sustainability 0428 617 205 / markca@cgg.wa.gov.au) will
be considering to reduce the scope further with the available funds and/or seek other funding through
other avenues such as the Mid West Investment Plan etc.
WALIS Forum 2013 & WMG presentations
Conference web site is http://www.walis.wa.gov.au/forum @WALIS_now #walisforum2013
WALIS Forum 2013 is on 7-8 November at the Crown complex in Perth. The program is different to
previous years as the first day (Thursday) focuses on one stream of keynote speakers which is not GIS
centric and the second day (Friday) includes 5 concurrent streams based on the theme; Integrate,
Transform and Grow, with two additional workshop streams.
The Marine workshop options were discussed and the consensus was that we do not require a marine
workshop and that presenting marine related talks would compete with existing presentations which
also relates to marine issues. The planned MCV workshop relates to specific data custodians and users
who will not necessarily be attending the Forum and may also get more value from attending other
marine related presentations. Ralph will be preparing a MCV Project banner, information flyers and
questionnaire to be handed out at WALIS forum and also be made available on the WMG website,
therefore we will not benefit in using the facilities at WALIS forum for a workshop.
Suggested changes to the program are to:
 Use the empty time slot in the Botanicals Room 2 – 15:00 to 15:30 for 3 brief 10 minute
presentations (7 minutes presentation & 3 minutes for questions and handover) rather than one 30
minute presentation.
 Discuss with Luke and Agi to present on CTAMI / WAMSI and WAIMOS Projects (7-10 minute each)
(Luke is on parental leave until 4 November)
 Arrange for a 7-10 minute Oil Spill Response presentation from DOT – Emily Wood / Steven James
 Swap (ESRI) Tom’s presentation (14:00 – 14:30) with the Nathan Eaton’s sea level rise presentation
as it will then form a Marine theme for all three sessions
Speakers would need to register for WALIS Forum a.s.a.p. Friday speaker fees (including WASEA
Dinner) are $449.

MEETING NOTES & REPORTS
4. Managing Coastal Vulnerability (MCV) Project
 The MCV project has been progressing for two months. Office space, furniture and equipment
have been set-up at the DoT base station.
 Advertisements for two level 5 GIS officers closed on 14 October. Many good applications were
received.
 Ralph and Rodney prepared a MCV Newsletter which will be distributed regularly to WMG. The
newsletter is also available on the WMG website. The newsletter acts as a MCV discussion
agenda and to keep all stakeholders interested and up to date with the project.
 Ralph has been engaging with data custodians and stakeholders, including interest from industry
and federal agencies.
 A meeting was held with private enterprise which may lead to a presentation at APPEA
(Australian Production Petroleum & Exploration Association) with Darren Mottolini.
 The MCV project covers data and metadata as well as the process for continued maintenance.
The project charter also includes fostering relationships across government. Private industry
data is outside the MCV project charter but in these instances they can contact AODN directly.
 Ralph will also compile a list and contacts of related projects that may benefit WMG.
 The aim is for the MCV to provide data indexes and metadata to the AODN and the data to SLIP.
The AODN will redevelop their browser to enable it to search spatial as well as text based info.
 DPaW would like to provide a data index to the AODN
 The initial data list was done a number of years ago and would need to be updated and reprioritised. As data custodians are identified this list will be presented to the WMG for
discussion and endorsement.
 A number of datasets has been identified by DoT.
 The project plan for each individual dataset also includes a data management plan.
 A draft project plan has been developed for Coastline movement datasets.
 There is a need to form a Coastline reference group and to workshop the issues relating to the
complexities of the coast and waterline data. The aim is to start with Terms of Reference and
guidelines to what agencies are doing. Complex data rules are applied in the way data is
captured and terminology are not consistent across these datasets. Definitions are critically
important as it determines the cadastral boundaries. Key agencies who maintain these datasets
are: Landgate, DPaw, DoP and DoT. The workshop should include the data custodian as well as
the key data users. Issues to resolve are: consensus on priorities, determine what the user needs
are / create what the user needs, agree on definitions and consistent terminology, establish
what is existing and what is being done. The WA coastal compartment dataset can be used to
divide areas which are based on coastline type and geomorphology. These issues need to be
addressed for the MCV project to progress with these datasets. The WMG endorsed that the
Coastline data reference group be formed.
 Rodney and Ralph have reviewed the WALIS Forum Customer survey Posters and questionnaire
for WMG perusal and suggestions. The brief states what the MCV project is about and the
survey what stakeholders needs are for data products.
 The PROSPER project run by WAIMOS (Agi) is also targeting private oil and gas industry. Getting
information can be complex because of joint venture partner agreements and liability issues.
