Vision for Geodesy in Victoria

The Department of Sustainability and Environment's (DSE) vision is to improve Victoria's Geodetic framework to meet the needs of all future users, by providing a "geodetic framework which provides easy access to accurate positioning information, to a consistent standard across the entire State of Victoria, for all users". In pursuing this aim, the State Geodetic framework has been designed to:

• support state-wide positioning in a way which is economic and efficient for users;
• maintain the same minimum accuracy across the entire state
• use technology which is compatible with that preferred by the full range of users;
• meet the needs of existing and future users;
• be affordable to both Government and users, making it viable for the long-term;
• be consistent with the overall national framework; and
• do this within the overall national framework managed by Geoscience Australia's National Mapping Division (NMD - formerly AUSLIG)
