Global Information System (GIS)

The CHP team are utilising Global Information System (GIS) technology in management planning. Working in collaboration with the government’s Physical Planning Unit and other partners, the team will fully integrate all new data with existing systems so that other interested agencies may benefit as well. GIS provides layers of information about the environment.

This can be both scientific information (e.g., vegetation maps, spring locations, oriole nesting sites) as well as social data (e.g., land ownership, farms, hiking trails).

This information can be combined to give decision makers a clearer visual appreciation of Centre Hills resources and potential conflicts arising from their use.
