Did you know Australia is located on one of the Earth’s most rapidly moving tectonic plates? Resulting in Australia moving seven centimetres north-east per year!

Australian Government departments and private sector organisations are now contemplating their game plan for the migration of GDA94 to GDA2020. This data implementation is important for organisations that want to take advantage of having sub-decimetre coordinate accuracy when capturing high accuracy data.

Here at 1Spatial, we continue to work with customers across a range of diverse sectors delivering exciting and challenging projects that deliver new tools and platforms for managing their data. We have worked on projects with different customers to manage and track the transition to GDA2020- enabling users to migrate their data to the new datum.

During the session, we will hear from the latest case studies to help you understand the requirements needed to replace GDA94 with the new GDA2020.

Agenda:

• Opening intro – Andrej Mocicka
• Case Study – Whittlesea Council
• Case Study – Bayside Council
• Open Q & A with guest presenter Richard Stanaway from Quick Close

Join our webinar to learn how these organisations migrate their data to this new datum!

In the meantime, if you have any technical questions you would like answered during our session, send us an email sales.australia@1spatial.com and we’ll be sure to cover it. 

During GEO Week 2021, the Group on Earth Observations will present the multidisciplinary activities of the GEO Work Programme that address policy agendas involved in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration.

The online event will include the GEO-17 plenary, plus anchor and side events. Time will be scheduled each day for virtual networking. On Monday, November 22, the 56th Executive Committee will be held as a closed meeting.

Of particular importance will be the anchor events: These are the main events designed by GEO week 2021 organisers to explain the multidisciplinary nature of GEO through the concept of nexus thinking. Working on multiple topics simultaneously is essential in today’s rapidly changing environmental and social conditions. For example, work in one area will have a knock-on effect or impact in another area, such as the water, energy and food nexus. These events are linked to the global policy agendas that underpin most of GEO’s work.

Advancing Earth Observation Forum 2022 will be a face-to-face, fully interactive forum. It will host user, industry, government, research and technical focused plenaries and interactive panels, poster and workshop sessions to interest and engage end-users, industry, researchers, government, analysts, start-up companies, educators and students.

Each year representatives from the Association of Consulting Surveyors NSW and the Institution of Surveyors NSW come together to organise the NSW Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information (EISSI) Awards.

The awards recognise the achievements of organisations and individuals from across the state who are engaged in the surveying and spatial information profession; celebrate excellence before an audience of industry peers; encourage activities that create a stronger, larger and more relevant industry; and embrace the achievements of the industry and its related industries and professions.
