Examples….. Contaminated Land Identify and document areas of contaminated land that are suitable for remediation and habitation (define nature of contamination and potential remediation options).
Asbestos Develop a plan for sustainable asbestos management including testing (where/ when/reporting for example in BIM), removal, disposal and mitigation.
Vulnerable people Contact people in community organisations, local and central government and other providers understand the criteria for vulnerability so they correctly direct vulnerable people to the right sources of help.
Land transport National Land Transport initiatives are implement guided by decisions which have been informed by comprehensive up-to-date geospatial information on validated: network safety, likely uses, efficiency/travel times, population growth/trends, land use, maintenance characteristics, funding availability, resilience, national impact, quality.
Flood events Emergency services respond to flood events in a timely manner (because they are pro-actively prepared with historical and real-time geospatial information on flooding risk relative to forecast and evolving rainfall; soil types; run-off rates; infrastructure; locations of emergency services and supplies and so on.)
2) Canterbury SDI Programme Objective: to accelerate the recovery and rebuild in Canterbury by increasing the ability of agencies to access location information for planning and coordination efforts and to provide guidance to the national SDI effort
The Canterbury Spatial Data Infrastructure Programme
Benefits • • • • • •
Reliable location-based information plays a key role in recovery decision-making Greater efficiencies, reduced costs, reduced delays, increased investment, happier citizens Faster and better coordinated central city rebuild Reduced disruption to the travelling public Reduction in insurance/reinsurance premiums Develop a spatial data infrastructure for the long term – beyond the Canterbury rebuild
