The formation of the Australian Spatial Consortium (ASC) was announced last year at the Spatially Enabled Government Conference. The Consortium was established to “accelerate the unlocking of the potential of spatial information for economic, environmental and social benefit for Australia within key industries, and the development of tools, new technologies and capabilities relating to the fundamental future needs of the nation“. The Statement of Purpose outlines the complementary role that the ASC will play: adding value to existing organisations to strengthen the overall impact of the spatial information industry.
Initial membership of the Consortium comprises representatives of ANZLIC - the Spatial Information Council, the Australian Spatial Information Business Association (ASIBA), the Spatial Sciences Institute (SSI), PSMA Australia Limited, the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI) and 43 Pty Ltd.
