The Land Service Group (LSG) can supply 'bulk' data from the LSG Land Information System to Government and private organisations for a variety of purposes. 'Bulk' data describes extracts of significant portions of the LSG land information data repository.  The Land Information Services Branch manages and processes the requests in accordance with Government and LSG policies.

Interested parties should note that LSG may charge a fee for the supply of the data. The primary principle in determining a fee is to recover the costs associated with analysis, extracting, manipulating and delivering the Data to the customer (including the cost of professional and/or outsourced services that may be required). 

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.

A commercial fee may 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

Agencies or organisations that wish to receive bulk data 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.
