Realising the benefits of precise positioning: Road Transport

Precise positioning technology offers an exciting opportunity for all Australians. The ability to identify a location anywhere in Australia with a real-time accuracy of three centimetres enables a range of activities to be conducted more efficiently, from growing crops to constructing roads and navigating transport networks. The industries that have been early adopters have already realised the benefits of their investment — economically, environmentally and socially.

Widespread access to precise positioning technology is estimated to boost the national economy by between $7.8 and $13.72 billion1 by 2020. Geoscience Australia is playing an important role in fostering the uptake and ongoing development of this technology through the National Positioning Infrastructure Capability.

This program will establish the necessary infrastructure on the ground that provides the foundation for the technology.

The National Positioning Infrastructure Capability will ensure all Australians have an opportunity to access continuous, reliable and precise positioning information.

To better understand these benefits and how this technology is currently being used in Australia, read the five case studies. They provide a snapshot of the new and innovative uses that will continue to arise as the technology continues to evolve and more industries get involved.

National Native Title Tribunal

The National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) is an independent agency established by the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (the Act).

The Tribunal comprises a President and Members, who are appointed by the Governor General under the Act to make decisions, conduct inquiries, reviews and mediations, and assist various parties with native title applications, and Indigenous land use agreements (ILUAs).

The NNTT is supported by the Native Title Registrar, also appointed by the Governor General. Together, the statutory office-holders of the Tribunal, (the President, Members and the Registrar), each have separate and specific functions and responsibilities to perform under the Act.

Role of the Tribunal

The President and Members have statutory functions including:

  • arbitral decision making
  • administrative decision making
  • conducting inquiries
  • conducting mediations
  • conducting reviews
  • assisting parties with agreements to settle applications
  • assisting parties to negotiate Indigenous land use agreements (ILUAs)
  • assisting representative Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Bodies under the Act.

Role of the Native Title Registrar

The Registrar has statutory responsibilities including:

  • maintaining three Registers: the National Native Title Register, the Register of Native Title Claims and the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements
  • assessing claimant applications for registration
  • giving notice of native title applications and ILUAs
  • registering ILUAs
  • providing assistance
  • providing information.

Murray Darling Basin LiDAR

MDBA’s primary purpose for the acquisition of this LiDAR is to assist in the modelling of environmental water flows and consequent inundation of floodplains. As the models generated from the LiDAR need to accurately model the flow of water, investment must be made in aligning vertical control to the geoid.

Objectives

Deliver high-resolution elevation products to the MDBA by establishing a working storage, processing and delivery system managed by Geoscience Australia. This system will build on existing investment in the National Elevation Data Framework and align to the Australian and New Zealand Foundation Spatial Data Framework, ensuring enduring discovery and access of

foundation elevation data for government, industry, research and community. Improve the content of the national elevation dataset by integrating existing and new LiDAR data acquired over high-priority areas from the Basin.

Mastersoft Group: Open G-NAF and Address validation

Mastersoft Group provides Australian and New Zealand address validation in the cloud through its Harmony Hosted subscription service.

Problem: Human error can occur when manually entering addresses, resulting in a poor customer experience and incorrect and false addresses being added to databases. This impedes smooth business practices, especially with high volume customer touch points and where are accurate addresses are crucial to business success.

Solution: Mastersoft’s Harmony Hosted service provides access to the openly available G-NAF, Australia Post’s Postal Address File and a range of New Zealand Address datasets, allowing users to search addresses from multiple datasets in a single search.
