Australian Mapping Agencies

Australian mapping agencies are organizations responsible for creating, maintaining, and distributing detailed geographic information and maps of Australia. They provide authoritative data on natural and built environments, supporting activities like navigation, planning, environmental management, and research. These agencies often collaborate to ensure the accuracy and accessibility of spatial data across government, industry, and the public. Notable examples include Geoscience Australia and state-based agencies, which utilize advanced technologies such as satellite imagery, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and surveying to produce comprehensive maps and geographic datasets vital for informed decision-making.
