GIS
Geographic information systems turn location data into evidence. We map and analyse land, development and infrastructure so that planning and investment decisions rest on information that can be checked.
Who it is for
- Municipal planning departments
- Infrastructure and development agencies
- Private developers and landowners
- Consulting teams that need spatial inputs
The problems it addresses
- Spatial data held in different sources and formats, with no single reliable picture.
- Uncertainty about where development is suitable and where it is constrained.
- The need to show what a proposed route, site or facility will reach or affect.
- Reports and public engagement that need clear, accurate maps.
What we do
- Spatial analysisOverlay and proximity analysis that answers specific planning and development questions.
- Site suitability and constraintsMapping of physical, environmental and regulatory constraints to compare sites and options.
- Decision-support mappingMaps prepared for the people who must decide, not only for technical specialists.
- Mapping and cartographyReport-ready maps and consistent map series for frameworks, studies and presentations.
- Spatial data managementCollating, checking and organising spatial data so that it can be used and maintained.
- Development and infrastructure analysisSpatial inputs to planning, feasibility and infrastructure assignments.
What you receive
- Maps and map series
- Constraints and suitability maps
- Organised spatial datasets
- Analysis summaries for reports
- Figures for presentations and consultation
- Spatial inputs to planning documents
How it connects
GIS supplies the evidence behind our town planning work and helps project management track where work is happening on the ground. The work is carried out in Esri ArcGIS.
