Our vision guiding the development of the LINZ topographic information infrastructure is:
"Ready access to topographic information needed to realise a safe, sustainable and innovative society."
Contribution to overall LINZ strategic direction
This vision and associated Topographic Information Strategy contribute directly to the following LINZ end and intermediate outcomes, LINZ overall vision, and strategic goals from our 2005/2006 Statement of Intent.
| LINZ End Outcome | "Land information is available to enable New Zealand's economy to function effectively and for New Zealander's safety and security." | |
|---|---|---|
| LINZ Intermediate Outcome | "Convenient access to integrated land information." | |
| LINZ Vision | "LINZ is valued as Government's centre of electronic land information and expertise." | |
| Strategic Goals | "e-Delivery Excellence - LINZ's primary customers exclusively use electronic channels, consistent with the e-Government Strategy." | |
| "All-of-government leadership - LINZ is a strategic leader and co-ordinator of land information initiatives across government." |
This Topographic Information Strategy reflects our commitment to providing the nation's topographic information infrastructure: e-delivery excellence is an associated strategic goal, the achievement of which will require careful pacing with customers' requirements.
At the time of writing, LINZ is also consulting on a strategy for New Zealand's geospatial information. This work will be completed in 2005 and may impact on some of the initiatives identified in this Strategy.
Contribution to government goals
We recognise that topographic information is part of the fabric of information that underpins New Zealand's drive to become an information and knowledge-based society. We also acknowledge that apart from providing our own information we need to look to ensure that the information we collect can be used by others, where appropriate, for other public purposes.
As the Government formulates and implements policies that encourage New Zealand in this direction, we will ensure that our topographic information actively contributes to achieving the desired outcomes.
The vision of the e-Government Strategy is that New Zealand will be a leader in e-government and more particularly that:
- by June 2007, networks and Internet technologies will be integral to the delivery of government information, services and processes.
- by June 2010, the operation of government will have been transformed through its use of the Internet.
This Topographic Information Strategy indicates the pathway and framework of partnerships through which LINZ will work with our primary customers and others toward realising the e-government vision.
