OBTAINING MARKET FEEDBACK ABOUT LAND INFORMATION SERVICESWednesday, 17 February 2010 07:00 |
As you may know, LINZ has made a commitment to support the development of the geospatial sector in New Zealand. We are working with industry and the public sector (both central and local government) to unlock our data to achieve better outcomes for New Zealand’s economic development. In this regard, LINZ has been providing land information, in a bulk data format, for approximately the last ten years. Some bulk data customers use the data internally, while others rework the data and provide it to their clients. LINZ now wishes to evaluate this area of its business in order to ensure it is meeting industry needs, while identifying opportunities for further product and service development. To help us with this, we have commissioned an independent research company, Research New Zealand, to conduct research amongst customers and stakeholders. 2010 Meridian AwardsThursday, 04 February 2010 08:52 |

Many of our MUGNZ members will have travelled over this past summer holiday break, but I'm picking that few would have been where new MUGNZ Committee member Stephen Barlow has been this summer...
Stephen even removed his main coat to show off his MUGNZ "polar" fleece at the Geographic South Pole! No mean feat with the outside temperature at -30 degrees C and wind chill at -38 degrees C! True dedication! Engage 3D and MapBasic TrainingMonday, 12 October 2009 07:04 |

Two major environmental databases are set to become more accessible and easier to use following the re-release of these digital maps by the Ministry for the Environment.
The Land Cover Database and the Land Environments New Zealand classification layers, widely used by agencies in environmental and resource management planning, will now be issued online with a Creative Commons Attribution licence. Ministry for the Environment’s Len Brown says this will promote the free exchange of environmental data, allowing more people access, use and benefit from the data. “Improving access to the Government’s spatial information is a goal of the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy, one that the Ministry is committed to supporting.” |
