GIS Solutions for Local Government

With extensive experience working with 22 Tasmanian local governments Insight GIS has gained a sound understanding of your unique requirements. We develop total GIS solutions that improve business processes and help you achieve your goals. The MapInfo Access Program is designed specifically for local governments, and gives you unlimited MapInfo software and discounts on MapInfo training for an annual fee.

We also offer products (such as Exponare) and services (such as Cadastral Updating) that are specifically designed for you to solve common issues faced by Councils. And you can get the most out of your MapInfo software with our MapInfo Training and Technical Support services. See this case study to find out how George Town Council is benefiting from Insight GIS services.

Property
You can get your property database (e.g. rating system) integrated with a mapping interface, so you can quickly and easily access information about ratepayers. Our software allows you to view information about development applications and land use proposals on property maps. This enables you to quickly identify issues, such as who is affected by a particular development and how to best manage the situation.

Locate and visualise natural resources in your municipality with our software so you can easily identify areas in need of attention. You can also map environmental problems such as weed infestation, erosion and water quality. This enables you to manage issues more effectively and improves the likelihood of success. We can also integrate environment data with planning and engineering information to help in various operations (e.g. the location of septic tanks for replacement by a sewerage scheme).
