- ADF plans for RPAS use in domestic civil airspace
- Lessons learned from Military RPAS operations in shared airspace
- European & US approaches to RPAS operations in shared airspace
- Australian Roadmap for regulatory development
- Industry perspective and challenges
- Controlling illegal RPAS operators
- Beyond Visual Line Of Sight operations for RPA
- Emerging Technologies
- Integration of RPAS into ATM and ATM procedures
- Shared use of Aerodromes
- Lower Airspace Concepts
AAUS is now inviting papers for the conference. Please submit short abstract to greg.tyrrell@aaus.org.au by April 30, 2017.
The Far North GIS Users Group (FUNGIS) aims to unite the far northern spatial community through events and workshops, the sharing of resources and the distribution of news of local geospatial initiatives.
On the Thursday, the participants will be challenged by the Queensland Police in Disaster Response and Search and Rescue. You can then learn more about spatial information in the new Queensland Globe, mapping marine debris and 3D modelling -that’s just in the morning. The afternoon will cover how UAVs can be used in innovative agriculture and get a quickie on practical drone use.
Friday will be focused on getting you trained up, flying and analysing the data that comes out of a semi-professional drone.
YellowScan has again put everything together to offer you two very particular days in the beautiful area of Southern France.

The Institute of Australian Geographers Conference (IAG2017) is the annual meeting of the Institute of Australian Geographers, a non-profit organisation representing geographers and aiming to promote and advance the discipline of geography. Participants from academic, non-profit, government, business, research, and other institutional backgrounds are encouraged to attend.
This year’s conference is being hosted by The University of Queensland on the St Lucia campus. This year’s conference theme is ‘Geography Counts’, stressing the role of geography in informing policy from a holistic, global perspective. The organisers have stressed the breadth of the discipline, and welcome participation across all sub-disciplines, and from those using a diversity of methodologies. They hope that both geographers and non-geographers from Australasia and beyond attend and contribute.
How do cities become resilient, and how do you measure it? What are the hidden costs of cheap buildings? Can we increase density without losing green space? Can we grow food on rooftops? And what can cities and sub-national governments do when national governments don’t want a piece of the climate action? All this and more are on the agenda of the Ecocity World Summit in Melbourne this July.
“In Australia, we’ve just come through Cyclone Debbie, and seen severe storms and flooding across the Eastern states,” says Brendan Gleeson, Director of Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute and Summit co-convenor.
“We urgently need to safeguard our cities, towns and their people, in Australia and across the planet. The Ecocity World Summit program is designed to bring leading thinkers, researchers and practitioners together to share the evidence, strategies and tools we need to keep our cities liveable and sustainable in the face of global challenges.”
The Ecocity World Summit brings leading international thinkers to Australia to share their expertise, including:
- Mr Mark Twidell, Managing Director, Tesla (Asia-Pacific)
- Dr Debra Roberts: Climate Change Adviser to ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability (South Africa)
- Mr Aromar Revi: Director, Indian Institute for Human Settlements
- Mr Rachmat Whitoelar: Indonesian President’s Special Envoy for Climate Change
- Prof Harriet Bulkeley: Professor of Geography, Durham University (UK)
- The Hon Al Gore: Former US Vice President and Chair of The Climate Reality Project
The program includes three streams—Urban Leadership, Academic, and City Practices—tailoring sessions and workshops to the interests of people from government, university, business and community sectors.

Hosted by ISV, 2017 Surveying Expo is the annual Victorian surveyors event and includes the Young Surveyors Breakfast and Awards Gala Dinner.
The Institution of Surveyors Victoria (ISV) is the peak professional association for land surveyors in Victoria. The ISV has existed since 1874.
The Institution of Surveyors Victoria services the professional needs of surveyors by conducting seminars and workshops, and circulating technical and other information through its various publications and journals. ISV provides input into the educational standards for surveyors, and into the legislation affecting the activities of surveyors. It also provides government and the community with the collective professional opinion of the surveying profession.
