  The SLIP Developers Program is a unique government/private partnership that leverages the expertise and responsiveness of the private sector to provide information solutions from the vast amount of government data available through the online Western Australian Shared Land Information Platform (SLIP). As government is the major collector of data throughout Australia, the program provides online access to SLIP for authorised developers who are able to quickly respond to the public’s needs for information anywhere and anytime providing a complete understanding of the interest area. This developers program, led by Landgate (the Western Australian Land Information Authority) is positioning itself as a workable model that utilises Web 2.0 technologies to allow governments to collaborate with community groups, provide information and ensure the needs of citizens for complete information are being met.

  Recently, Landgate has established a seed funding model for authorised SLIP Developers to identify opportunities that will develop new and innovative ways of delivering, analyzing and using the data made available through SLIP. This seed funding allows developers to invest in a ‘proof of concept’ that can be showcased to gain support and further investment. An example from the seed funding model for the program is the development of a location-based service tool that draws upon crowd-sourcing technologies to deliver information from SLIP, customised to the needs of the public, and linked to other Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook. This tool would not have been possible without the linkages of government information and private sector expertise providing cohesion between social networks, citizen needs and government information.

  Landgate (WA) - Shared Land Information Platform

  One example of openly accessible public sector information that exists within state government is the Shared Land Information Platform (SLIP), a Western Australian cross-government initiative spearheaded by Landgate, the state’s authority on land information.

  One example of openly accessible public sector information that exists within state government is the Shared Land Information Platform (SLIP), a Western Australian cross-government initiative spearheaded by Landgate, the state’s authority on land information. SLIP brings together spatial datasets from approximately twenty agencies (mostly at state level, but also some from local and federal level), and disseminates them online through WMS and WFS services. I should point out here that each agency retains FULL custodianship of their own data; SLIP provides the means to publish that data online from a single point.

  Landgate has a significant amount of information which is freely available, including WMS products through our map viewer, WA Atlas (https://www2.landgate.wa.gov.au/waatlas/). Other data, including cadastral, topographic and imagery data is also available to all, at a cost. Landgate is presently considering Creative Commons licensing as part of the National Government Information Licensing Framework Project.

  While there are a diverse range of datasets available through SLIP (the full list can be found at https://www2.landgate.wa.gov.au/slip/portal/services/datasets-available.html) I note there is some overlap between what has already been suggested and what Landgate could contribute:

  -Administrative boundaries: Suburbs, localities, Local Government Authorities and even individual council wards

  -Land title information: Cadastral information

  -Road and railway line data

  -Topographic data, particularly spot heights, contours and points of interest

  -Community facilities such as Public Access Ways and building footprints

  -Native title data

  -Aerial photography and imagery

  SLIP data can be accessed in a variety of ways, including the aforementioned WA Atlas, or using any of the GIS applications available. We have a number of guides available on how to access this data at https://www2.landgate.wa.gov.au/slip/portal/services/access-slip.html, and through our useful links at https://www2.landgate.wa.gov.au/slip/portal/links/links.html.
