1. Purpose

The Land Information Coordination Committee (LICC) has established a set of principles to guide the LIST Management Advisory Group and potential data suppliers in assessing and preparing proposals for the addition of new data sets to be made available through The LIST.

2. Background

The Land Information Coordination Committee (LICC) is a whole-of-government committee established by the Minister for Primary Industries, Water and Environment as the principal coordination group for matters which involve inter-governmental action in relation to land information and for the development of land information policy and strategies for the Tasmanian government.

The LIST Management Advisory Group (LMAG) is a whole-of-government management group established by the LICC to operate and manage The LIST on a day to day basis. The LMAG has the authority to authorise the addition of new data sets to The LIST, in accordance with relevant LICC policies.

3. Scope

The scope of this policy is to;

• Establish principles to guide LMAG in assessing proposals for additional data sets to be made available through The LIST,
• Establish principles to guide potential data suppliers in preparing proposals for the addition of data sets to be made available through The LIST, and
• Outlining the key issues that need to be addressed in any proposal.

The LICC considers that adherence to the following principles will ensure that data sets supplied through The LIST are relevant, accurate and authoritative.

• The data set is related to the land and/or water including the sea bed.
• The custodian of the data has been established and the Custodian has signed a Custodian Agreement.
• The custodian of the data has accepted responsibility for maintenance, metadata and legal liability and the metadata has been entered in the Tasmanian Spatial Data Directory.
• The data set is the most current and authoritative/credible data set of its type.
• The data is compiled/derived to a resolution which allows usage for a wide range of applications and in accordance with required data set specifications.
• The data is available to third parties under licence in accordance with the LICC Spatial Data Distribution and Pricing Guidelines and Model.

• The level of user demand for the data set,
• The statutory requirements of the data set, and
• The political imperatives of the data set.

The LICC will implement this policy by;

• The Executive Officer (LICC) writing to all state government departments and councils and advising them of the data set proposal guidelines and seeking proposals for the addition of new data sets to The LIST.
• The LMAG assessing all proposals for additional data sets to be made available through The LIST, based on the above principles.
• The Executive Officer (LICC) providing assistance to potential data suppliers in preparing data set proposals.
• Data sets will be added to The LIST subject to available resources.

This policy is subject to review at the request of the Land Information Coordination Committee.
