What is spatial information?

Spatial information is data linked to specific locations on the Earth’s surface. It helps describe the position and shape of natural and built features like roads, rivers, and buildings, and is used for mapping, planning, and analysis across many sectors.

In Tasmania, spatial data supports a wide range of industry sectors, including land titling, emergency management, forest monitoring, and marine conservation. It’s also used in land use planning, precision agriculture, and managing infrastructure in both urban and remote areas.

Maximising the adoption of spatial information in Tasmania will have a net positive impact on Tasmania’s Gross State Product of around 1.2 billion by 2033-34.
