Victorian Spatial Information Strategy 2008-2010

We are living in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world; it has been estimated that, at today's rate of progress, we will experience the equivalent of 20,000 years of progress in the next 100 years.

Significant challenges exist in continuing to deliver services in an equitable way, so that everyone benefits, and within the capacity of the environment to support the demands being placed on it.

Responses to these issues require multi-disciplinary approaches - drawing on science, economics, politics, history, and technology. Spatial Information can be a unifying medium - linking solutions to location.

The Victorian Spatial Information Strategy 2008-2010 charts some of the changes occurring in spatial information and technology, and sets out the key challenges they pose.

For the first time, the spatial information community as a whole, led by the Victorian Spatial Council, has played an integral role in developing the Strategy, and we all have a part to play in its delivery.

Through this Strategy, the Victorian Spatial Council paints the emerging landscape for spatial information in Victoria and sets the broad themes for facilitating the whole spatial information community's participation in that landscape and provides a strategic framework for the continuing development of Victoria's spatial information industry to 2010.

This strategy is vital for anyone currently using spatial information, or with an interest in it, whether in the traditional spatial information community, or others throughout all levels of government, the private sector, utilities, academia, the professions and the community.
