| You’re invited to the 2020 Victorian Spatial Showcase and eSummit: 18 and 19 November 2020
You’re invited to attend this year’s 2020 Victorian Spatial Showcase and eSummit, hosted by the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI), Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA) and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP)! This new partnership brings together two well known annual events into one festival for the Victorian spatial and surveying sectors. Join us as we bring together government agencies, industry academics and community spatial enthusiasts to connect and learn more about the innovative spatial data, technology and services that Victoria has to offer. On the agenda is a mix of lightning talks and presentations by a diverse range of industry professionals, interactive sessions, networking opportunities and more. Spatially enabling the Sustainable Development Goals This year, we’re going to tackle some of the world’s most complex problems – our 2020 theme is exploring how the spatial industry is enabling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovation. But what are the SDGs you might ask? The 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015. provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call to action by developed and developing countries across the globe. During the eSummit, the Victorian spatial community will draw on its collective experience to identify opportunities and challenges for us all to achieve these goals. Call for abstracts We welcome presentations from spatial and surveying professionals all over the world that align with our theme.

We hope you can join us!
The previous Map-a-thon focused on bushfire recovery; this Map-a-thon focuses on bushfire preparedness. During bushfires, firefighters often have difficulty sourcing water. In some regional locations mains water may not be accessible to fight a major bushfire. Static water supplies, such as swimming pools, tanks and dams, are vital sources of water for firefighters. This map-a-thon seeks to map swimming pools, tanks and dams to update Australia’s Static Water Supply System.
The focus area for this Map-a-thon is Kangaroo Island and regional Victoria.
NGIS Australia will be setting up the project sites and will put all the systems in place to make sure the map-a-thon runs as smoothly as before. Nearmap will generously supply high resolution aerial imagery where available. As mentioned previously, the OpenStreetMap (OSM) Platform and Hot Tasker Manager will be used to coordinate the mapping effort.
No matter where you are in the world, you can participate in the SSSI FireWater Map-a-thon. We encourage all participants to register here so you are kept up to date on news, important information such as the training manual and links to the project sites (which will be sent to participants a day prior to the Map-a-thon).
The Map-a-thon will commence at 10am AEDT and will run for 24 hours, to take in to account all time zones. Participate for as long as you like during the 24hrs – there are no time restrictions.
This webinar will discuss a standardised approach to the way ecological field survey and monitoring data are collected. Agreement on techniques and protocols is a fundamental step towards improving consistency in data recording so data generated from TERN (Australia’s national land observatory), NRM groups, citizen scientists, and entities carrying out environmental assessments are comparable and compatible across individual projects, regions and jurisdictions.
Issues
How do we decide which environmental parameters to measure by standardised protocols?
What steps are necessary before we can say we have a standardised protocol for collecting Australia’s environmental information?
Will past and future data collected by non-standard methods be of any use in assisting regulators?
Do the States, Territories and the Commonwealth have an agreed or preferred approach to harmonising environmental information collection?
How might citizen scientists, NGOs and other non-government groups contribute to developing standards, tools and training?
Speakers
Associate Professor Ben Sparrow, TERN Ecosystem Surveillance Lead, University of Adelaide.
Dr Teresa Eyre, Principal Ecologist, Queensland Herbarium, Queensland Department of Environment and Science.
Ashley Leedman, Director of Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement Section, Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment.
The World of Drones & Robotics Congress

Australia is one of the most urbanised nations in the world and its population is expected to increase substantially over the next few decades. As our cities continue to grow, governments are looking for innovative ways to create smarter and more sustainable cities, and to achieve this, a data driven approach is key.
Local governments in Australia are now turning to digital twin platforms to better utilize and integrate disparate data sources, relating to infrastructure projects, environment, transport, property and more. The goal is to help planners and developers predict the future impacts of a development before the project begins in the real world.
In this webinar, we will discuss the value of city-scale digital twins and how they can help connect the data, people, workflows, and ideas necessary for improved urban mobility, resilience and sustainability, leading to a better quality of life for citizens.
The webinar will cover the following:
– Create an always-available city-scale digital twin
– Visualise and communicate in 3D to improve stakeholder engagement
– Examples of cities going through transformation
– Next steps for a city to get started
