Objectives for SLIP

• Simplify access to the Government's land and
  geographic information
• Improve the efficiency of Government business
  processes
• Promote better integration across Government

Five areas to review
Four focus areas

Emergency Management
Findings
Prevention
Preparedness
Response
Recovery
Land information is used throughout the EM cycle

• EM agencies need the same information at the same
  time
• EM agency capabilities and skills vary
  considerably
• Access to timely, reliable data is critical
  during emergencies

• Required data spread across many agencies and
  jurisdictions
• Hard to find out what data is available, and how
  current it is
• Need consistent access to reliable information
• Agencies with less capability reduce total
  effectiveness
• Incorrect data puts human safety and assets at
  risk
• Need to accommodate off-line data access

8
Emergency Management
Solutions

• New capability to support and facilitate EM
  processes
• Tools to support EM processes

• Delivering data from authoritative source gives
  agencies the same information at the same time
• Can be accessed from anywhere at any time
• Data presented will be tuned to EM community
• Shared functionality available to all agencies
• Reduced duplication of effort in accessing and
  analysing EM information

9
Emergency Management
What difference will it make?

• Reduced risk of loss to life or property
• Agencies using the same, current data
• Using all available data to inform prevention,
  preparation, and recovery
• Rapid access to current information during
  response
• Increase effective use of physical resources
• Use information to optimise deployment
• Assist coordination during recovery phase
• Proactive dissemination of information to the
  public

A base EM system could be available by June 2006
10
Natural Resource Management
Findings

• Commonwealth/State agreements (NHT2, NAP) driving
  community access to data
• Management of natural resources typically
  requires access to all available data for an area

• Agencies keen to provide more coordinated support
• Over 150 data sets identified
• Agencies cant always be sure which data are most
  current, suitable and whats available

11
Natural Resource Management
Solutions

• A single entry point for identifying and
  accessing NRM data directly from source agencies
• Enabling existing agency systems to access data
  live from source
• Tools for maintaining data collaboratively, and
  for community groups to supply data back to
  agencies

• Use existing NRM systems where possible
• Agencies/community able to identify the most
  current, accurate relevant data
• Data captured by community is managed
• Better access for community

12
Natural Resource Management
What difference will it make?

• The people who make changes to the environment
  have access to the best information
• Regional groups can better plan, monitor and
  evaluate the impacts they have on the environment
  
• Farmers make better decisions by using the best
  information
• The agencies which guide policy have access to
  the same information
• NRM agencies make more informed decisions by
  using community data and getting the best data
  from each other
• State of the Environment reporting based on
  readily-assembled holistic information

13
Land Development Process
Findings

• Maintaining supply of land to market depends on
  an efficient land development process
• Currently a complex, non-automated process
• Lack of transparency in the process

• Home affordability is a key social issue,
  affected by availability of land for new housing
• Long time frames for approvals
• High admin workload for agency staff
• Inability to validate applications and
  incompatible processes and systems causes re-work
• No easy way of finding where development
  application is at
• Manual methods make quality control difficult

14
Land Development Process
Solutions

• Streamline the current processes
• Provide an online e-LDP system

• Undertake fully costed scoping and feasibility
  study to ensure whole of process understanding
  and funding requirement
• Developing and aligning cross-agency protocols
• Introduce efficiencies and prepare for automation
• Reduced risks of errors
• Greater focus on quality of decisions (instead of
  admin workload)
• Reduced duplication of effort
• Faster process - improved service and quicker
  return of fees

15
Land Development Process
What difference will it make?

• Business and citizens
• One on-line place to lodge subdivision
  applications and inquire on status, without
  having to visit individual agencies
• Industry lodge surveys on-line
• Subdivision applications can be pre-populated and
  validated
• Can lodge an application from anywhere
• Better quality, faster decisions on subdivision
  applications
• Core and referral agencies
• More clarity in land development process
• Can automate processing of interest enquiries
• Can deal with requests electronically
• Reduce re-work through shared information and
  processes and validated application data

Process reform could be in place by end of 2005,
and first stages of automation by mid 2006
16
Register of Interests
Findings

• Currently no easy way to determine interests on
  land

• Interests information held by many agencies
• Business, government, community must contact
  custodians individually inefficient and
  involves re-work
• Undiscovered interests incur costs for
  government, business, and individuals

User communities
Information providers
17
Register of Interests
Solutions

• One access point to initiate an enquiry on the
  rights, obligations and restrictions over any
  area in WA
• Tools to simplify searching and transaction
  processing, yet data remains with custodians

• Efficiencies for everyone who needs to check
  interests
• Reduced risk of undiscovered interests
• Less errors due to incorrect land identification
• Efficiencies for agencies processing enquiries
• Reduced transaction costs for custodians
• Supports development of an eLDP

18
Register of Interests
What difference will it make?

• Business, government and citizens
• Can inquire on-line at one point, without having
  to
• visit individual agencies
• Can inquire at any time of day or night, from
  anywhere
• Can see that the right land parcel is being
  submitted
• Gain confidence that relevant agencies have been
• contacted
• Custodial agencies
• Can automate processing of straightforward
  interest enquiries
• Can deal with requests electronically
• Reduce re-work by having the correct land parcel
  identified
• Able to deliver higher volume of service without
  increasing costs

A semi-automated system could be available by 3rd
quarter 2006
