Discover how you can use GIS tools and data to map your whenua, create 3D stories and flythroughs, access all the government GIS data, historical imagery, property data, and perform spatial analysis.
These wānanga are for kaitiaki, friends and whānau working in Māori trusts, settlement entities, Takiwā and marae collectives and environmental and conservation groups.
The wānanga are 1-hour long lunchtime sessions, usually on the first or second Friday of the month (12:30 to 1:30pm). They are delivered in English.
