Issues Being Faced At NLTB

1. Large number of different Systems being Used2. Double Leasing3. Identifying available Land for Leasing4. Quality of GIS Data5. Integration of GIS Data with LandSoft6. Use of NLTBS GIS Data7. Fourteen GPS rovers at NLTB are getting old or not

functioning8. Use of new Technology

Choice between MapInfo or ArcGISFollowed a thorough evaluation process in how the software would assist in addressing main issues

Choose ArcGIS because• Product Support• Upgrade Path• Integrating to LandSoft• Centralised Server• Creating KML’s• USP Students learning ArcGIS

Testing use of ArcGIS

1. Created KML’s to be used in Google Earth to look into Schedule A+B issue.

2. Lease - Arrears, Expired, Reassessment and by Lease Type

3. Identified area on ground with development but no lease boundary

4. Creating Land Owning Unit Maps

Addressing the Issues

1.Purchased Six Trible GeoXT Rovers2.All Technical officers will be using ArcGIS3.Centralised Data in new Spatial Server4.Multiple levels of access for estate staff will

assist with GIS data accuracy issues, double leasing and management of leases.

5.New NLTB website has link to available land6.ArcMap files are linked to Reporting Server

Thoughts on the Process

1.GIS Being part of IT has significant benefits2.Approval process in current environment is

much more thorough so more time consuming3.Technology from GIS/RS has really improved4.GIS Functionality can replace a lot of old “IT

Functionality”

Going Forward

1.Finish implementation of Spatial/GIS Solution

2.Look into use of Smartphones e.g. Blackberry, Iphone and Android Phones to assist with staff in field accessing Map Information

3.Look into Vehicle Tracking

ArcGIS Server

1. Plan was to create KML from ArcGIS and then let users on the counters access it from Google Earth

2. Issue was that a large number of users would have to have internet access

3. With ArcGIS Server able to publish map and include a layer to Bing Maps

4. Means all NLTB users will be able to access our published maps

5. Access maps with Web Pages and queries
