The NSW Government is leading the way in the adoption and application of Digital Spatial Information and has collected and developed a rich array of information.
This has become a vital tool for people who need information on land, the environment, transport, communications, utility services and demographics and is also used in everyday tools like GPS and online navigation.
As the NSW Government continues to drive both an Innovative State and an Innovative Government agenda, Digital Spatial Information will feature at the core of both these service delivery agendas.
We invite you to join us for the next Breakfast Briefing to hear insights and updates from Wayne Patterson, Executive Director, Information Sourcing, Land and Property Information within the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation and has been instrumental in driving innovation in this area.
Wayne’s presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A session with other industry leaders in Digital Spatial Information.
