The Land Service Group (LSG) will consider development of custom data products including special reports and system interfaces under certain circumstances.

Requests for such custom products must be made formally and the requestor will typically cover the costs associated with investigating and satisfying the request. For regular reports or interfaces there may be ongoing maintenance charges.

Each request will be subject to a $400 administration fee, which covers the preparation and execution of any required documentation, including Data Supply Agreements and Data Access Schedules. After the execution of a Data Supply Agreement, each subsequent data request will require an additional Schedule document detailing terms and conditions of use specific to that dataset.

Pre-approvals can also be granted to obtain refreshes for the same data attributes (on an agreed frequency basis) for the same data attributes. Pre-approvals can only be given to refreshes of the same data attributes for the same authorised purpose. If a pre-approval is granted, a single Schedule document will be prepared (for a fee of $400) authorising the refreshes. All pre-approval arrangements will have a sunset date.

Interested parties should note that a commercial fee might also be charged where the customer seeks to use the data for business related purposes including the development and commercialisation of information products. For Government agency customers requiring the data for statutory or mandated Government business purposes a commercial fee will not normally be charged.

Initial enquiries may be made to the Coordinator Custom Data Products on (08) 8207 2154

Requesting the Data Products

Agencies or organisations that wish to receive custom data products are required to submit a formal request to the Director, Land Services Group. An appropriate senior representative, responsible for the requesting organisation must sign the letter. In the case of other Government agencies the responsible officer will typically be the relevant business unit Director.
