  7. The Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission Intense Scrutiny of many issues including spatial information Issues covered included: Paper maps and map directories Quality of state digital map base Data Licensing Networks Interoperability Joint training Data gathering GPS standards Information flows Bushfire prediction models

  8. The Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission Recommendations

  9. Result: A single mapping and spatial information system for all Victorian Agencies Firemap eMap EIMS Mapper
