What is WALISWhat is WALIS

Established in 1981, WALIS is the longest standing LIS/GIS cooperative arrangement in Australia. WALIS is not a GIS but is

the WA government’s mechanism for coordinating the management of spatial information. It is a partnership of

government agencies working with business, education and the general community to SHARE, MANAGE, IMPROVE and PROMOTE

the State’s geographic information


WALIS VisionWALIS Vision WALIS vision Seamless access to WA spatial information, from anywhere, for any use,

by anybody.

Objectives: 1. Strengthening and expanding partnerships (people).

2. Providing geographic information to support business outcomes (information).

3. Implementing an infrastructure to enable full integration of geographic information (technology).

4. Setting and maintaining both policy and governance structure to support the WALIS community goals (framework).

5. Improve the WALIS community’s ability to understand, use and access geographic information (education).

WALIS EPCWALIS EPC

The WALIS Executive Policy Committee (EPC) is the governing body of WALIS and comprises Chief Executive Officers and Directors General of eight WALIS member agencies that have custodianship responsibilities for the majority of the WA Government’s spatial datasets.

It is currently chaired by the Chief Executive, Landgate. The role of the EPC is to provide strategic direction and endorse overall policy and strategic plans, ensuring alignment with Whole of Government policies and priorities for sharing spatial information. As of October 2006, the EPC is also the peak body responsible for the ongoing implementation and growth of SLIP.


WALIS Spatial Management GroupWALIS Spatial Management Group

The WALIS Spatial Management Group (SMG) is the strategic body for WALIS and will advise and be responsible to the EPC.

The SMG is made up of Director-level representatives from core areas of WALIS. This tier 2 group drives and directs policy and strategic direction for WALIS as well as the implementation of SLIP.


WALIS Advisory CommitteeWALIS Advisory Committee

The WALIS Advisory Committee (WAC) consists of representatives from industry, community, education and local government.

The purpose of the committee is to provide the WALIS Executive Policy Committee (EPC) and WALIS Spatial Management Group (SMG) with strategic advice to stimulate and encourage promotion and support for the development and use of geographic information within Western Australia.

WAC contributes to the development of WALIS Strategic Plans and topical policy and issues as they arise, such as pricing, data access, data quality, representation of geographic information in education and marketing of WALIS.


WALIS CouncilWALIS CouncilWALIS Council, comprising representatives from each of the WALIS member agencies, which focuses on operational coordination and information exchange.

WALIS Council is the information hub of WALIS and provides professional advice on technical issues.

The WALIS Spatial Management Group (SMG) relies on WALIS Council as its prime source of information on matters relevant to WALIS and SLIP. Information may be provided either as direct assistance from Council, or as a result of the SMG seeking consultation or specific detail on a matter of concern.


State Land Information Capture Program State Land Information Capture Program (SLICP)(SLICP)


State Land Information Capture State Land Information Capture Program (SLICP)Program (SLICP)

The SLICP is designed to reduce cost and avoid duplication

in spatial data capture across the state of Western Australia

by planning, recording and acquiring the information through

one channel to ensure the most strategic use of resources.

The program runs annually (by financial year - July 1 to

30 June cycle) and is scheduled eighteen months in advance

due to significant planning overheads.


Shared Land Information Platform Shared Land Information Platform (SLIP)(SLIP)

SLIP is revolutionising the way government geographic information

is used and shared.

It is being implemented by the WALIS community and will provide

numerous benefits to government, business, industry and the

community.

SLIP underpins the work of the WALIS community and will be a key

focus for WALIS during the years 2007-2010.
