Introduction

• Who am I?

• Why am I here talking on Location SA?

• What is Location SA?

What is Location SA?

Location SA is a repository of authoritative location data and services available to all state government agencies.

Spatial Data - Foundations for Tomorrow

• Why aren't these foundations already built?

• Why revisit our foundations?

• The South Australian Context

• Our foundation will allow us to “catch up” when

the time is right

Why discuss Location SA ? Noteworthy collaboration

Value for all agencies

Modern Public Service Policy

A model for sustainability

Awareness Demand

A bit of history…

State IT Strategy - “Ask Just Once”

ICT Clusters Geospatial

Rationale…

Requirements

Sophistication

Expectations

Human resources

Funds

Under the hood…

> Clear but limited objectives > Pool our expertise > Remove (or reduce) duplication and data

and processes – SPOT > Build once – use many > Robust and sustainable environment SDI > Prove within Cluster so can extend

beyond

• Consumer applications • “Globes” • Open data • Web services

• Development platforms • Metadata • Data quality control • Data life cycle management • Change management • Custodianship • Security • Cloud-ready infrastructure • Licensing • Agreements and contracts • Funding models • Human resources • Governance

First steps …..

Simplification ….. By mid 2014 a demand for over 300 datasets will be satisfied

What can agencies use ?

> Data like > Mapping content like roads, zones, topography > Parcel cadastre (the DCDB) > Regions, areas, suburbs, place names > Land records, addresses, ownership, valuation > Aerial imagery

> Web Services like

> address validation > spatial intersection (with regions, statistical areas, etc) > Base maps

> Strategic approaches like

> collaborative models > shared infrastructure, services, resources, solution IP

Some examples …

> Address & Location Validation Service (ALVS)

> Intersection Services

> Land Data Services (LDS)

> Base maps – streets and topography

Benefits inside government… Agency > Decisions based on consistent authoritative data > Reduced costs through sharing of infrastructure and

expertise > Strengthen agency capability and resilience > Lessen impact of Machinery of Government changes Government > Operational efficiencies and economies > Less duplication of systems, data, processes and

infrastructure > Consistent information for evidence-based decisions > Sustainable, smarter, collaborative model

Benefits outside government… Business and Industry > Over $30M p.a. economic benefit > Open data foundation for the local digital economy > Optimal access to government information and services > Opportunities for closer G2B and B2G integration Citizen & Community > Underpins the Open (Spatial) Data agenda > More informed and engaged by access to authoritative data > Transparent and accountable government > Powerful communication through maps

e.g. where is that bushfire?

So where are we ?

> We have > Prepared a Business Case for an expansion of

Location SA consistent with developments nationally

> Provided two submissions to the ICT Board > Provided multiple briefings to the Premier > Submitted a Cabinet Briefing

> We need to

> get broader support across government > review funding options > revise the business case > Finalise a Cabinet Submission

On the SA Agenda …

> Action Plan to Advance Open Data

> A Modern Public Service

> SA Connected
