Hi Ewen,

 

Its not just my lobbying – Alex Leith and Andrew Harvey had both been pursuing 
this in the past. I think it was a personal visit and past work interactions 
with those involved that clinched the deal. We are also hopeful that a licence 
change to the LIST basemap imagery may come about in the future giving us 
access to that as well which will be great for smaller rural towns. Land 
Tasmania organises and runs many of the photography flights on behalf of 
smaller councils etc and I think they are keen to make the imagery more 
available (even if some is older it’s really high resolution!)

 

If there are others layers that folks have an interest in accessing just let me 
know and will see how we go with other Tasmanian government agencies.

 

If anyone would like a spreadsheet with all the layers we gained access to, 
just drop me a private email. We only listed the more relevant ones on the wiki.

 

Cheers – Phil (on behalf of all the lobbyists!)

Superb work again Phil, one dataset at a time, you are slowly making Tasmania 
the leader of the state pack!

Hi Folks,

 

Just a heads up that we have recently obtained a waiver for a limited subset of 
data from the LIST Open Data portal 
(https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/). Data for which Land Tasmania 
is the custodian is now available for use in OpenStreetMap (waiver 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Land_Tasmania_Signed_Waivers.pdf> ). 
You need to check the metadata of individual layers to ensure the custodian is 
Land Tasmania. We also obtained a waiver for the Topographic Basemap tiles and 
have commenced the process to get that available in editors.

 

The wiki has been updated to indicate layers that may be useful to mappers.

The usual caveats apply – some data is old and no longer maintained so be 
careful with its use. Also please follow all community and import guidelines if 
considering any mass imports.
