What we do.
We take the guesswork out of location.
Geoscape is the digital Australia – a comprehensive representation of our built environment. It describes the addresses, land, buildings and transport networks across Australia’s 7.6 million km2. We continuously source, process and deliver data to various endpoints, including APIs and a self-service portal.
The evolution of Geoscape Australia
Where we’re from.
| In 1992, the Public Sector Mapping Agency submitted a proposal for a national digital basemap for the 1996 Census. And we were born. We were incorporated in 2001 and tasked with coordinating, assembling and delivering national spatial datasets. Our heritage lies in addressing, having produced the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) since 2004. It’s Australia’s centralised, comprehensive address register. We now use Agile methodologies to meet demand for currency, speed and flexibility in the delivery of location intelligence in the modern data economy. |
