The broader disruption context
Sense – think – act@ The Internet of Things – sensor devices (including people!)@ The internet itself – pervasive connectivity and communications@ Cloud computing – processing and thinking grunt @ Back to the Internet of Things – actuator devices (including people!)
Focus of this presentation is spatial and positioning:@ Changing model for information services – get it out there@ Step-change in positioning – precise, real-time positioning completely
ubiquitous@ Land Capability Modelling – looking and thinking holistically about land

Information services
Build the ‘do what you want’ channel@ Out in the cloud to be fully accessible, strong Access Control@ Service levels@ Metadata@ Potential cost recovery component
Expect and use the ‘do what you want’ channel
@ Draw on multiple channels@ Create new Systems of Record@ Create new ‘do what you want’ channels

Positioning Services
The demand for precise positioning and location services is increasing…
@ A fundamental requirement for our future economy@ Tracking, auditability and traceability as important as accuracy
Source: GNSS Market Report, Issue 4© European GNSS Agency, 2015
Half the market can get by with 5-10 metres accuracy, but many will want
auditability
Half the market needs 2cm accuracy
9
Positioning Services
Transport the lion’s share (of users), but agriculture, surveying, asset management critically important
10
11
Autonomous vehicles
What positional accuracy?@ 300mm on the open road, 75mm in parking areas
Combination of sensors@ LiDAR (light detection and ranging)@ Radar@ Cameras @ Ultrasonic@ Infrared
Positioning@ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)@ inertial navigation systems (INS)
Not just ‘cars’ – drones, vacuum cleaners, gardeners, …
12
Positioning Services – but
Precise positioning is hard! Continental drift (among a host of confounding factors)
@ Victoria is charging off north-east at ~6cm a year (.00068 km/h)@ Hold onto your real estate – in 327,400,000 years Melbourne will be in
Byron Bay
Positioning must be authoritative and universal
@ as fundamental as the standards for weights, measures, time, …
@ Core role for government
13
GPSnet
The ‘wine cork’ vision@ GPSnet is world class positioning infrastructure@ GPSNet embodies the economic, strategic and policy
imperatives driving the National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) initiative at national level
@ When implemented, GPSnet will be Victoria’s contribution to NPI
Completion in 2010 has brought forward $80million in productivity gains
@ The early, shallow end of the take-up rate@ We’re five years ahead of other States in realising the full
benefits
14
Positioning services
Build a positioning and location service to support Victoria’s future economy
@ Fundamental geodetic framework and policy, and@ Broad-based positioning services infrastructure – GPSnet @ Private sector deliver services from the core framework, policy
and infrastructure
Be ready to leverage positioning@ all/any applications and services, all levels of government and in
private sector@ Service delivery, field operations, scheduling@ Transport and logistics@ Asset management@ Autonomous vehicle/device control and direction@ Auditability and traceability
15
Land Capability Modelling (LCM)
Maximise productivity from Victoria’s land and land information resources
@ All relevant inputs – not just ‘land’ attributes - transportation, infrastructure, workforce availability, planning conditions, natural resources, climate and weather, …
@ Develop scenarios, identify trade-offs, balance competing interests – not a ‘black box’ picking a winner
@ Authoritative, open information resource available to all – public, private, academic and community sectors – to drive co-production

LCM Pilot vs future implementation
Pilot@ ~80 data sets@ 2 reporting units (LGAs,
ASGC)@ One grid size (100m x
100m, ~23 million grid cells for each Victoria-wide data set)
@ Single epoch
@ Minimal infrastructure (< 20 second response time) at 100m grid resolution
@ Limited access
Future Implementation
@ 600 data sets@ 60 reporting units@ Nested grids (10, 25, 50,
100, 250 and 500 metres, 1, 5, 10 kilometres)
@ Full time series (quarterly or six monthly, plus as required)
@ Solid, scalable cloud infrastructure (< 5 second response time) all grids
@ Multi-sector access
20
LCM: benefits
Simple, rapid scenario insight@ Simple quick sensitivity analysis@ Simple quick meaningful insight to competing demands and trade-
offs
Data provisioning service@ Deliver to public, private, academic and community sectors@ Reduce data management duplication, which can be up to 75%+
Single authoritative source@ Data available to public, private, academic and community sectors@ Universal acceptance of data inputs, focus on analysis and outcomes
Maximise benefits of information holdings@ Support DataVic Open Access Policy, evidence-based policy
development@ Support a wide range of policy/service development processes
