What will we do & why is this important?
As champion of the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy, LINZ will help to shape and lead cross-government work in this area. A broad range of interested parties require effective leadership and collaboration to ensure successful implementation. These parties form a diverse community of interest that includes: central government agencies, local government; relevant Crown entities, geospatial industry players (including proprietary vendors, data resellers, exporters, and service suppliers), researchers and academics, regional and international geospatial organisations, and private sector users, including recreational users.
Many of these parties have been involved in the development of a work programme for the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy. Approved in September 2008, the first phase of this programme sets out a range of initiatives that will require the sustained, collaborative effort of many stakeholders.
LINZ will identify and establish the functions and processes required to accelerate the implementation of the Strategy. A strong focus will be placed on:
- programme management to drive the Geospatial Strategy work programme and ensure LINZ delivers on key projects, and
- communications, engagement and relationship management to ensure all stakeholders have a voice and are driving together. Given the broad range of stakeholders involved in the collection, collation and use of geospatial data, LINZ will need to build effective relationships and broker collaborative solutions.
LINZ will also establish regular dialogue with the growing cluster of land information businesses and organisations to better understand their needs and to foster, where possible, their growth. This is important in helping LINZ remain wellconnected with the diverse community interested in this topic.
What impact will this initiative have?
This initiative will:
- accelerate the implementation of the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy, and
- improve collaboration and co-ordination across the geospatial sector.
