It's been a wonderful year with SSI NSW Region growing from strength to strength. We look forward to bringing you more great events in 2009 along with a more coherent offering of events coordinated across several spatial organisations we enjoy partnering with. Have a safe and prosperous New Year and we hope you will again join us in supporting excellence in the spatial profession throughout 2009. Best wishes, SSI NSW Regional Committee Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:35:01 +0100 http://www.spatialsciences.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=269&Itemid= On Thursday the 25th of September, Level One of the NSW Leagues Club was filled with the sounds of approximately 40 spatial industry professionals making new contacts and catching up with old friends. Members of the SSI and ISNSW were taking advantage of the opportunity to network with each other and members of the NSW Board of Surveying Spatial Information (BOSSI).The event was jointly hosted by BOSSI and SSI NSW and judged by all to be a resounding success. One of the highlights of the night was seeing inter-generational barriers dissolve, with YP’s and experienced professionals all talking enthusiastically and often resenting the sound of the bell that indicated the next rotation had arrived. The success of this event can be attributed to the collaborative approach taken by the involved organisations and talk of running the event again next year has already begun. If participants have any feedback on their experiences on the night please send it to [yp.nsw AT spatialsciences.org.au].

On August 27, Dennis Puniard, David Bruce and I (representing SSI) met with Greg Goodman and Jonathan Saxon (representing ISNSW) to discuss the potential for joint service provision to surveying and spatial professionals in NSW. Initial outcomes are very positive and we share a vision for unity in the profession.

Were you amazed by the RTA Traffic Control Centre in Redfern that you visited as part of the OZRI 2007 site visits? Well...in David Bowie’s words ‘take your protein pills and put your helmet on’ as you are about to step into a scene of NASA’s Mission Control Centre. I’m talking about a circular control room attended by 50 odd staff crowned with two 25sqm overhead screens simultaneously running 8 customised GIS applications, 2 full time GIS analysts at its base energetically processing the most recent data sent across from BOM, satellite imagery and many more. If you thought the dollars for impressive GIS soft- and hardware applications are in the private industry – stand corrected!
