Hello Aussie OSMers,
Those recently at the last OSM South Brisbane meetup may remember I was going
to get onto our Department of Natural Resources people
to see when they were going to release their datasets under a GILF (CC-BY
compatible) licence.
It turns out there's been a

It'd be worth investigating, especially if other govt bodies can

I tried to import the bigger areas so the map didn't look so blank,

What exactly will that tell you?
I would expect that you need to find out

This gives us some basic specs to figure out what we'd need either to

ground we wouldn't need to worry about clouds etc.
For comparison, you really should compare

I would expect that you need to find out what data the ABS coastline is
based on. From memory, the offical coastline
I had never really thought of this before, but land traveller and
mariner have quite different concepts of what it means to reach 'the
coast'. For the former it is when you get your feet wet, for the
latter it is when you run into something. And there are places where
there is quite a gap
Hi.
On the issue of land parcels, does OSM support this (i.e. with useful
information to do things like give the parcel an address)? I know you can
relate a point to a street, and attach the street number to the point.
Can you attach a number to an area, and relate it to a street? Possibly yes,

Sat imagery with a non-profit discount is about US$12/sq km

One thing to consider is that the photography won't actually need to cover
the *entire* state. Given the way most rural towns work, it would just need
the point-to-point connections to cover the important roads between towns as
well as the towns
$150 gives you a feed from space... ;)

Tethered balloons (and kites) are allowed up to 500ft...

I don't think we need to worry about going back to the ABS too much.
That isn't the point, we want govt's to use us for their data
repository, so we need data how they want/need it.
Just my 2c, but it isn't going to happen on

The problem is that everything the government says and does has legal

ABS postcode boundaries are out by 1+ km in some places so I think it
