The demand from the public and private sectors for high quality, integrated, digital land information continues to grow. This information is critical for planning and development of essential community infrastructure, such as transport networks and utilities, as well as for resource and environmental management of the State.
The emergency rescue operations and the recovery of essential services in response to the September 11 disaster in the United States and the recent bushfires in New South Wales have highlighted the importance of coordinated access to government land and property information.
There is a growing need for a single electronic access point to land and property information, particularly with regard to the full range of interests in land. There are also pressures for land and property related services to be delivered electronically.
Impartial and accurate rating and taxing values continue to underpin the revenue collection of State and Local Governments. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for asset valuations, as a basic requirement of sound financial management and accrual accounting.
Community demographic patterns will change greatly in coming years, and this will progressively influence the selection of home sites closer to urban centres and the acceptance of higher settlement densities.
Independent valuation and property advice is critical to the transparency of all government property transactions, in particular compulsory acquisition.
Most government projects rely on Crown land administration processes to secure necessary land tenure or interests in land to achieve the project goals. There is potential for improving the management of government projects by inviting land administration expertise to provide land solutions as early as possible in the planning process.
