Fact Sheet 2008-8

Below is the NSIM Spatial Strategic Framework 2007-2010 updated to include 2008 Spatial Milestones. The table represents ongoing efforts by NSIM to build upon work already completed in 2007 leading to the development of a national spatial capability.

2008 Milestones 2010 Outcomes 2010 Scorecard Measures
For Mercury 2008 and World Youth Day, spatial capability is umpired, used effectively and outcomes are captured and distributed for use in future event planning National Spatial Capability to Support Decision Making Delivery of spatial information, personal and resources to enhance and sustain effective ‘all hazards’ decision-making achieved
A training needs analysis underway, relevant spatial training is scoped and delivery programmes are designed
Symbology categories for CT, CIP and EM are identified and agreed Easy National Access Access to relevant spatial information, when and where needed, to give a common operating picture for operational, strategic and executive levels
Compilation of a prioritised national symbology set is commenced High Awareness and Demonstrated Use Wide acceptance and use of spatial information to support core business and PPRR activities
National trial of a Common Operating Picture is underway Interoperable and Integrated Systems and Information Incident management, predictive modelling and analysis tools can access and integrate information held on nationally interoperable spatial information systems
National spatial library architecture is scoped
A national policy framework is  developed Agreed Data Standards and Access protocols Agreed data standards and access protocols are adopted to ensure consistent and cooperative sharing of spatial information across agencies and jurisdictions
A national set of common operating principles is under development National All Hazards Governance Process Collaborative and complementary arrangements exist within and across all jurisdictions for the access and use of spatial information 

Strategic Pathways

  1. Develop an agreed policy framework
  2. Build an operational governance structure
  3. Specify user requirements
  4. Establish common operating protocols
  5. Establish effective data capture and sharing arrangements
  6. Develop a national spatial Library
  7. Implement education and awareness programs
