4. EGM Focus • New vision for ICT enabled LAS – the “project” • Recognition that Western European countries have a long tradition of accommodating sustainable development objectives into their land administration systems – what can Australia learn from these experiences? • A model was developed as part of the Project Incorporating sustainable development objectives into ICT enabled land administration systems to be used as a basis for discussion • Individual jurisdictions to discuss the model in relation to their jurisdictional needs • A list of key issues were developed to guide discussion

5. EGM Outlook • Day 1 – Focus on European approach • Develop set of key principles to inform the development of an LAS vision • Day 2 – Focus on Australian approach • Develop set of key principles to inform the development of the LAS vision • Day 3 –The next generation of LAS • Attempt to gain a consensus on key principles for a generic ICT enabled LAS • Open Workshop to present the results of EGM

6. Open Workshop • Stig Enemark – Danish overview The Land Management Paradigm • Holger Magel – German Overview The role of FIG • Paul v.d. Molen – Dutch overview FIG Commission 7 Activities • Daniel Steudler – Swiss overview The Cadastral Template • Bas Kok – EU initiatives INSPIRE • Grahame Searle – Australian experience

7. EGM FOCUS THE VISION or PARADIGM • What is the vision for an ICT enabled LAS to support sustainable development? • Is a common understanding possible? • Is this “land management” or “land information management”? KEY DRIVERS • Rank in importance the key drivers • Is tax (in all its forms) a driver? KEY COMPONENTS AND TOOLS • Authentic registers? • The IT architecture to deliver the vision? • The spatial dimension- SDI? • Infrastructure to support trading in complex commodities? CHALLENGES AND ISSUES FOR IMPROVEMENT • Achieving a national system in a federated country • Achieving spatially enabled government • Should the land registry system contribute to SD? How? • Relationship between the land registry and spatial cadastre • Can international comparative monitoring be established? • Administration of restrictions and responsibilities • Is the land parcel still central to LA? • The role of buildings in land administration

8. EGM Outcomes • Publication • Website

9. A simple view of a cadastre and its core role in land administration

10. Overlapping rights, restrictions and responsibilities

11. Recognise the relationship of people to land is dynamic Reference: Ting et al, 1998

12. As a result LA also changes and evolves Reference: Ting and Williamson, 1998

13. Evolution of Land Markets (Wallace and Williamson, 2004)

14. Development of complex commodities(Wallace and Williamson, 2004)
