| Description: |
Corporate GIS Consultants were selected by Queensland
Rail to develop a Spatial Roadmap and Operating Model for QR which
could be used to
transform its use of spatial information in order to focus upon a shared
understanding, a common vision, an agreed strategy and a practical roadmap to
support business specific spatial information management and use. Corporate GIS Consultants completed the first
phase Scoping Study which was accepted by the Steering Committee. At this time the Queensland Premier announced
that significant components of QR would be sold, an outcome of which was that
all projects should cease until such time as the new owners took control. |

| Project Type: |
Needs Analysis Review |
| Year: |
2008 |
| Description: |
Over the last 30 years, the Gold Coast has continued to experience significant growth at an estimated 3 to 5% pa. The management of a range of competing activities such as tourism, environmental management, urban growth, infrastructure growth and renewal, increasing transportation needs, etc are all placing an increasing burden on the Gold Coast City Council information needs. The spatial information systems (GIS) in Council have experienced considerable growth with an estimated 1000 staff across Council using the technology.
Through phased organisational structural changes, GIS resources in the operational Directorates have been relocated to the Spatial Information Services branch to introduce a shared services governance model. Although these changes have been completed, Directorate Managers are not satisfied that important beneficial features of the GIS improvement project plan have been obtained. Without business support for GIS improvements projects, delays have resulted and GIS service levels have not been able to meet operational business expectations. To address this situation, Corporate GIS Consultants has undertaken a review of GIS improvement projects to determine the issues, the steps needing to be taken to get the project ‘back on track’, and to rebuild Directorate ownership in future spatial information projects. Strategic and operational business units within council were engaged in meetings and workshops to understand the project history and capture business needs and desires. Organisational and project changes were recommended that will reinvigorate the project, encourage Directorate participation and satisfy demands of all competing business interests. |

| Year: |
2005 |
| Description: |
Gold Coast City Council (including Gold Cast Water) retained Corporate GIS Consultants to review the disparate GIS environments within the organisation in order to determine the most efficient and effective means of delivering spatial services to each of the Business Units and Directorates. This project involved extensive interviews with operational, technical and management personnel as well as investigations into the technologies being used within the Council. This project resulted in a number of recommendations to enable the organisation to embrace a corporate culture with access to corporate asset data. The resulting report was accepted by the CIO and became part of a further report (also developed by Corporate GIS Consultants) to the Corporate Governance Committee, chaired by the CEO. This report was subsequently adopted and Corporate GIS Consultants were retained to undertake further stakeholder consultation to prepare a Project Management Plan, Executive Leadership Team presentation and a final report to Council for ratification. This plan was adopted by the full Council in December 2005 and is being implemented. When the GIS Report and draft Business Case was presented to the Corporate Governance Committee of the Gold Coast City Council, Mr Dale Dickson, CEO stated that “this caliber of report be the standard for future reports encompassing major technology and organisational change”. |

GIS Business Strategy |
| Year: |
2004 |
| Description: |
The Port of Townsville
is a regional port specialising in bulk cargo handling with a land and sea
jurisdiction in excess of 400 square kilometres. It exports and imports large
quantities of sugar, mineral concentrates, refined nonferrous metals, large
quantities of mineral ores with a growing trade in general cargo. Each year approximately 700 ships pass
through the port facilitating trade, the use of land for port related
infrastructure and the delivery of port related services. In order to improve the management of the
organisation and resources as well as to integrate various organisational
functions, Townsville Port Authority commissioned Corporate GIS Consultants to
determine the requirements for a GIS which may assist this integration
including a Needs Analysis as well as to undertake a Cost Benefit for a GIS which
would suit the needs of the Authority.
The major findings
resulting from this project were that there is a very strong need within Townsville
Port Authority to have better access to information about leases, assets,
environmental issues etc; better understanding of the correlation of
information from these different information categories by different TPA
business teams; and better understanding of the implications of specific
decision paths. An “information
management system” is required for TPA to provide access to the data /
information necessary for TPA to: effectively undertake its business; provide
an expanded range of services to new and existing customers; and reduce both the monetary and governance risk
by ensuring that decisions are based on correct and up-to-date information. |

Their current manual mapping system required a substantial metrication and recompilation effort to remain at a "status quo" situation apart from any substantial automated mapping or LIS/GIS capability. Additionally, they had a need to include specific town planning and land use requirements into the overall system. They saw their system, when complete, as providing a "front counter" capability for members of the public who required information - particularly about council services. Reviewing their existing mapping needs, assess their future LIS/GIS needs and to recommend a several year growth to incorporate a substantial GIS/mapping, computing capability into their overall information technology strategy. |

| Description: |
Review of Gladstone City Council's incorporation of a mapping/GIS capability into their overall strategy in conjunction with their existing DP and design systems. Reviewed their existing technical computing needs, assessed their future needs and recommended a several year growth path to incorporate the GIS/mapping capability into their overall information technology strategy. This assignment required developing several long-term strategies to integrate the Council's computing into the area of GIS as well as to further develop their CADD use over a distributed network of standalone workstations. Bruce prepared a functional specification of their GIS/mapping and facilities management needs which was subsequently incorporated into a request for tender. Gladstone City Council subsequently installed a HP workstation running the GlenaCivil software as a first step to installing the GIS Genamap software in a developed network. |
