The integration of visualisation services into the e-development process in the Northern Territory of Australia

Rudd, Phillip and Robert Sarib

Currently in Australia there is a move by governments to streamline the land development process by utilising digital technology so that the land development process becomes more interoperable with contemporary land information management systems and spatial data infrastructures. There are national initiatives to create e-development applications, e-plan, elodgement, e-conveyancing, e-title etc and this paper outlines the Northern Territoryys version of this ee process and describes how these initiatives have been integrated with the NT Land Information Systems (NTLIS) and spatial data infrastructure. The Northern Territory Government (NTG) purchased a Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) software and data package to provide a whole of government spatial data visualisation service to support these ee initiatives. The deployment of the Google Earth Enterprise Client (GEEC) across the NTG to staff with a wide range of disciplines and technological competency levels has required a highly integrated approach capable of linking an array of datasets required for the land development process with minimal intervention from either the end users or data administrators. This has been achieved by implementing a Service Orientated Architecture and a distributed data fusion and serving environment.
