Australian Natural Resources Atlas
The Australian Natural Resources Atlas provides ready access to information to support natural resource management. It is being developed to involve a broad cross section of government and private sector groups working and interested in natural resource management issues.
Australian Offshore Mineral Locations Map
The Australian Offshore Mineral Locations map shows mineral occurrences and deposits within Australia's 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone and extended continental shelf.
Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS)
The Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS) provides online access to the best available soil and land resource information in a consistent format across the country. ASRIS has been developed for a broad range of users including natural resource managers, educational institutions, planners, researchers, and community groups.
Australian Spatial Data Directory (ASDD)
The Australian Spatial Data Directory (ASDD) is a national initiative which aims to improve access to Australian spatial data for industry, government, education and the general community. It provides search interfaces to discover geospatial dataset descriptions (metadata) throughout Australia.
Bioenergy Atlas of Australia
The Bioenergy Atlas of Australia provides access to maps and information on existing and potential biomass energy resources as well as existing industry locations, infrastructure and other key data to assist in planning an emerging bioenergy industry.
Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO)
The Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO) provides geospatial intelligence, from imagery and other sources, in support of Australia's defence and national interests.
Integrated Vegetation Online
The Integrated Vegetation dataset provides one source for major vegetation cover types in Australia. Information on vegetation includes native forests and grasslands and non-native vegetation (e.g. pine plantations, improved pasture and crops).
Interactive Social Atlas
The Interactive Social Atlas uses the information compiled for the Country Matters - Social Atlas of Rural and Regional Australia using the latest ABS Population and Housing Census data to focus on the people and communities of non-metropolitan Australia.
Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM)
ICSM is comprised of senior representatives of Australia's Commonwealth, State, Territory and Defence agencies responsible for surveying and mapping. New Zealand is also a member of ICSM and their members represent both New Zealand civil and Defence mapping.

Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S)
The Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) is a software tool developed by the Bureau of Rural Sciences that brings the MCA process into the decision-makers' realm. It is an easy-to-use, flexible tool that promotes insightful desktop combination and study of different types of mapped information; understanding of the relationships between the decision-making process and the available spatial data; and interactive 'live-update' and mapping of alternative project scenarios.
Plantation Information Network
The Plantation Information Network provides access to information on studies undertaken to identify land capable and suitable for commercial timber plantations in Australia.
Satellite Images of Australia
Links to a Satellite Image of Australia (Landsat 7 Picture Mosaic of Australia) (ECW Format) and a comparison of the satellite image and a digital topographic map (ECW Format) where you can view the Landsat 7 Picture Mosaic of Australia alongside a single digital 1:250 000 scale Topographic Map of Australia for locational details.
Topographic Maps
Geoscience Australia produces paper topographic maps at scales of 1:100 000, 1:250 000 and 1:1 million. For more than 40 years, these topographic maps, or NATMAPs as they are commonly known, have provided Australians with the information they need to navigate and explore this vast continent.
