NZ Geospatial Industry to Join Australian Association
Date: 26 June 2008
The New Zealand geospatial industry has voted to join ASIBA, the Australian Spatial Industry Business Association, a move local businesses believe is vital for the industry.
The decision was made Wednesday during the Inaugural Geospatial Information Systems Summit in Wellington and was supported by the New Zealand Geospatial Office and Trade and Enterprise.
ASIBA represents the geospatial industry across Australia and was formed in 2001 to establish common standards at industry, State and Federal levels. It has since assumed a significant role in public policy making, enhanced the profile of the industry, helped identify new opportunities and provides financial benefits to members.
During Wellington conference, six top New Zealand geospatial businesses voted to "formally express the New Zealand industry's request for ASIBA to extend its territory to include New Zealand."
It is now up to ASIBA, which is meeting in August, to change its constitution to allow New Zealand companies to join the association.
