Tech businesses, start-up companies and educational institutions are set to benefit from a new data hub launched Thursday by Western Australia’s Landgate. The new hub, named SPUR, aims to bring together a selection of Landgate services to support interested businesses and groups to develop new products, services and research projects.
SPUR will provide technology-based businesses, start-up companies and educational institutions with access to a range of resources and networking opportunities to support new technologies and industries.
In lunching SPUR, Lands Minister Terry Redman launched highlighted a number of benefits participants will receive: “This new data hub will offer developer licences and enable these groups to explore Government location data including information relating to property, roads, imagery and geography,” he said.
“For example, a start-up business wanting to produce an app for the property industry would be able to access location data relating to house valuations and sale prices through SPUR to use in the early stages of developing their product.
“Landgate has already helped a number of local start-ups to create prototypes of public safety, mining and other applications that use location information.”
Groups will also have the opportunity to network at SPUR events where they will be encouraged to collaborate to help solve industry and Government challenges using location data.
“They will be able to apply for innovation grants and seed funding through Landgate to help with the development of technologies and products that use location data,” the Minister said.
“This will be through an open, competitive application process.
“I would encourage anyone interested to visit the SPUR website where they can find out more and apply to access the services and products available.”

Hi there everyone! It may be cooling down on the weather side of things, but not when it comes to Spatial Jobs! We’ve got jobs and news for you – CLICK HERE to get updated.
The 2016 Australian Jobs has been released. This 48 page report provides a great starting point for users to gain an appreciation of trends in the labour market and factors that should be considered when looking for work or making career and training choices.
The publication contains a wealth of information, including summaries for states and territories and industries and occupations. It also includes helpful tips that can give job seekers the edge when looking for their next job.
The publication also touches upon jobs in the future so that all Australians can take advantage of the job opportunities of tomorrow. Employment projections suggest that most new jobs will be in industries and occupations for which post-school study is essential, highlighting the importance of education. There will also, though, continue to be good opportunities in lower skilled jobs, but applicants will need good employability or soft skills.
For the first time, Australian Jobswill be available on its own navigable, mobile friendly website, expected to be live by mid to late May 2016. A PDF of the report is also available online at http://www.employment.gov.au/australian-jobs-publication.

Lots has been happening in the Spatial World. Click here to see your Spatial Jobs Weekly Update!
new agreement between Geoscience Australia and the European Space Agency (ESA) is set to ensure data from the EU’s Sentinel satellites are accessible in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
The agreement supports the Australian government and European Commission’s partnership announced last year that aims to open up the benefits of the EU’s Copernicus Earth observation programme for the broader international community.
A key component of the cooperation will be the establishment of a regional data access and analysis hub managed by Geoscience Australia (GA). This hub will greatly improve access to Copernicus data in a region which is densely populated and experiencing high rates of economic growth, but which faces significant challenges in areas where Earth observation can help. These challenges include the protection of environmental assets, promotion of sustainable natural resource development and risk reduction from natural disasters.
ESA will supply GA with high-speed access to data from the Sentinel satellites through its Copernicus data access infrastructure. Through a consortium with Australia’s CSIRO national research organisation and Australian state governments, GA will make the data hub available to users in the Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region.
The hub is projected to provide access to over 12 Petabytes of data by 2025, and is expected to go beyond simply providing users with the ability to download Copernicus data.
Dr Adam Lewis, GA’s head of Earth and Marine Observations, expects that the regional data hub will be hugely beneficial to Australians: “the regional data hub will also provide a high-performance environment in which all the data can be analysed and applied at full scale to big regional challenges like the blue economy, sustainable livelihoods and climate change adaptation,” he said.
“By enabling multiple user groups, from multiple countries, to come together and ‘work around’ such a comprehensive set of data, we are helping to make sure the full potential of the EU’s amazing programme is realised and that regional partners can find regional solutions to regional challenges.”
The data access hub will be established at Canberra’s National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), the largest facility of its kind in the southern hemisphere, taking advantage of the Australian government’s investments in science and research infrastructure to support the region.
The cooperation will also make it easier for European and Australian experts to collaborate on the calibration and validation activities that are fundamental to ensuring that users have access to high-quality satellite data and value-added products they can trust.
“Through GA, CSIRO and many other players, Australia has long made a valued contribution to our calibration and validation activities,” said Pier Bargellini from ESA’s Copernicus Space Component Mission Management and Ground Segment Division. “Its technical expertise, world-class facilities and the diversity of geographies they have access to makes them a key player,”
Under the arrangement, GA will also act as a coordinating point for European partners to obtain access to Australian in-situ data, which is made available through the efforts of many Australian government agencies, research partnerships and universities.
The regional data hub will become operational on 1 July.

Editor’s note: Welcome to the second installment of our 2016 monthly series, Geospatial on a Budget. Today we’re going to take a look at some time-saving converter tools that won’t stress your math abilities or the budget…they are free.
Most professional data workflows include converting coordinates. Does converting points and working with projections ever make you feel like you’re back in that math class that you were certain wasn’t going to be useful in life? Whether you have a big stack of points or just one or two, we’ve found some options that may make life easier for you. If you’re working with groups of students, young or old, these may make the days on coordinate systems much easier. Impress all your friends at the next party with your knowledge of projections and coordinates!
Latitude, longitude, UTM and some datum
Montana State University has datum selection built into their converter choices. Their page includes the single lookup, UTM converter and a map in one stop.
Steven Dutch in Natural and Applied Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Greenbay has created some very helpful resources. “I got enough inquiries on this subject that I decided to make a page for it,” he said. You will find a newer java script version along with formulas that will take you back to trigonometry class. He has created a spreadsheet resource that does the math for you. And if you really want to get your geogeek on, then he has included some nice explanations of projection for you as well.
