Spatial data and information management

The Northern Territory Land Information System (NTLIS) is focused on corporate spatial data and information, which encompasses the spatial, geographic and attribute information required by more than one government agency or industry organisation to carry out core business functions.

Maximum benefits to the community from the collection, management and use of corporate spatial information will derive from a cooperative effort rather than by individual agencies and organisations simply focusing on their own specific business objectives. The NTLIS is founded on the principle of synergy.

Spatial data management encompasses the capture, organisation, management, integration and distribution of information about all of the following:

  • natural resources
  • the environment
  • land use
  • transport
  • communications
  • mapping
  • demography
  • socio-economic factors, where such information can be related to a geographical location.

This applies to the land mass, aquatic, atmospheric or sub-surface areas.

The role of spatial data and information is rapidly extending beyond its traditional applications in mapping, land development and resource management to such areas as emergency services, marketing and health and community services delivery.

The challenge for NTLIS is to ensure high quality spatial data is available in a usable form to support both traditional and emerging applications in government, industry, academia and the general community.

Background information about NTLIS

The NTLIS is a dynamic system that includes:

  • knowledge and expertise of staff
  • spatial data and information
  • policies
  • procedures
  • standards
  • information technology
  • communications.

NTLIS is a cooperative arrangement between NT Government agencies designed to deliver better outcomes for government, the community and industry from the use of spatial data resources.

NTLIS delivers sustainable spatial data and information management, as well as land information management.

This coordinated approach to management and use of spatial data and information has been practiced in the Northern Territory since 1980 when the first corporate Land Information System was developed to provide a wide range of integrated information services.

Read the NTLIS policies, standards and guidelines.

Collaboration forum

The NTLIS collaboration forum is a place to find information, news and events relating to spatial data and services in the Northern Territory.

The forum is relevant to people inside and outside of the Northern Territory Government who are:

  • GIS (Geographic Information Systems) professionals
  • users of online GIS systems including ILIS Maps, NT Atlas, Google Earth
  • developers of applications that include mapping or geocoding functionalities.

Go to the NTLIS collaboration forum.

Strategic directions

Many of the objectives outlined in the strategic directions for the Northern Territory Land Information Systems (NTLIS) are close to being achieved.

Looking forward to the next five years and the continued evolution of available data capture, technology and industry options, a revised statement of strategic direction is under development.

Objective 1

The Northern Territory has the spatial information necessary to support planning, sustainable economic development and the social and environmental interests of all sections of the community.

  1. Define the spatial information required to meet the priority interests of government, industry and community groups.
  2. Develop a Northern Territory spatial data infrastructure (NTSDI) to create and manage essential spatial information resources.
  3. Agencies that are custodians of Corporate spatial data implement the NTLIS Architectures and actively contribute to the NTSDI.

Objective 2

Corporate spatial information and its products are available on-line to anyone who needs to access and use them.

  1. Develop a spatial data "clearinghouse" or secure access channel, through which anyone can find, view, licence and obtain NT Government spatial data for legitimate uses.
  2. Resolve issues that may inhibit access to and use of spatial data, including pricing, charging, copyright, intellectual property and liability.

Objective 3

Corporate spatial information and its products are used by government, industry and the community to make informed decisions related to economic and social development.

  1. Increase the level of awareness in government, industry and the community of the value of spatial information and its importance in decision making.
  2. Develop and implement decision support products related to key government and community issues.

Objective 4

The Northern Territory has a strong and innovative spatial information industry able to deliver a comprehensive range of products and services to government, industry and the general community.

  1. Establish partnership relationships with NT industry designed to support development of innovative, leading edge spatial applications with commercial potential.
  2. Support industry through outsourcing, wherever possible, of data capture, spatial application services, data brokering and value-adding.

Livable Housing Design in National Construction Code 2022

Requirements start 1 October 2023

Building permit applications from 1 October 2023 for new homes must meet the National Construction Code livable housing design requirements. Read more on the Northern Territory Government website.

Background

In April 2021, a majority of building ministers agreed to include minimum accessibility provisions in the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022. These are known as livable housing design requirements for residential housing and apartments.

The decision followed regulatory impact assessment by the Australian Building Codes Board and extensive public consultation.

Ministers gave consideration to the feedback from industry, advocates and the lived experience of members of the community affected by the lack of accessible housing.

There is an undersupply of accessible housing in Australia, which these minimum requirements will help to address.

The previous voluntary approach to apply livable housing design guidelines has not led to significant increases in accessible housing stock.

Homes that meet livable housing design requirements benefit all members of the community including:

  • those with mobility limitations
  • those transitioning through life stages, such as young families with young children
  • the elderly
  • people with temporary injuries, as well as those who assist them.

What's included

Livable housing design includes basic accessibility elements that are critical to ensure future flexibility and adaptability of the home.

These requirements include:

  • a step-free entrance into the home
  • doorways and hallways which facilitate unrestricted movement between spaces
  • more space in the bathroom with provision to support installation of grab rails, or similar if required in the future.

To find out more about Livable Housing Design, go to the Australian Building Codes Board website and read:

Refer to the NT Guidelines for Livable Housing Design PDF (383.3 KB) for information on application to dwelling extensions/alterations and exemptions for step-free path requirements.

Read more on the Northern Territory Government website.

Occupancy certification exemption

Effective on 21 September 2023, an exemption was declared for all buildings and building works on 298 specified land parcels from requiring occupancy certification.

While the declaration exempts the buildings and building works, this doesn’t mean they aren’t fit for occupancy.

Exemption declaration

The Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics issued the declaration exempting all buildings and building works on specified land parcels from requiring occupancy certification under the Building Act 1993. This was a recommendation from the Building Compliance Taskforce.

View a full list of specified land parcels with buildings and building works that are exempt from requiring occupancy certification.

Read the buildings and building works on specified land exempt from requiring occupancy certification fact sheet PDF (142.3 KB).

While an exemption has been granted, all future works will require occupancy certification in accordance with the Building Act 1993.

What we are doing

The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics undertakes repairs and maintenance of buildings to ensure they are suitable for use. Repairs and maintenance is undertaken in accordance with current Australian building standards and regulations.

The department is continuing to progress obtaining occupancy certification for buildings and building works on specified land parcels. All future works will require occupancy certification.

A cross-agency Building Compliance Taskforce was established to provide recommendations to government on achieving compliance for buildings and building works on specified land parcels declared exempt from requiring occupancy certification.

This includes establishing a panel contract of building certifiers, who, as part of their work, will undertake an audit on buildings and building works on specified land parcels to obtain occupancy certification.

Buildings works on specified land parcels exempt from requiring occupancy certification

This list can be sorted by each of the columns.

In some instances the controlling agency may be different to the occupying agency. The controlling agency is responsible for the lot and compliance with the Building Act 1993.

Commercial Energy Efficiency

New requirements

From 1 October 2023, applications for building permits for commercial building classes 3 and 5-9 must meet National Construction Code 2019 Energy Efficiency requirements.

Energy Efficient buildings use less energy and produce less greenhouse gas emissions. Lower energy use over the life of a building creates ongoing savings on energy bills. Occupants benefit from an increased level of thermal comfort within energy efficient buildings.

The version of commercial energy efficiency requirements adopted by the NT is National Construction Code (NCC) Volume One 2019, known as Section J.

For detailed information on meeting commercial energy efficiency requirements, go to the Australian Building Codes Board website and read the Energy Efficiency Volume One (2019) Handbook.

What resources are available to support implementation in the NT?

Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS)

AIBS delivered a series of four webinars on NT commercial energy efficiency requirements and understanding performance-based solutions under the NCC. Recordings of the webinars can be accessed by anyone by creating a free AIBS account and searching NT, go to the AIBS TV platform website.

AIBS has developed a checklist to assist with meeting commercial energy efficiency requirements. The checklist can be downloaded as a resource under Webinar Two Energy Efficiency for Commercial Buildings Based on First Principals/Northern Territory Specific Webinar on the AIBS TV platform.

DeltaQ

A consortium led by DeltaQ developed case studies on implementing NCC commercial energy efficiency provisions as part of a 2022 cost benefit analysis comparing adoption of NCC 2019 with NCC 2016 requirements. The case studies within the following reports provide examples of how commercial energy efficiency requirements can be implemented across a range of building classes and climate zones:

Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air-conditioning and Heating (AIRAH)

AIRAH provides full day training on commercial energy efficiency requirements, suitable for anyone involved in building design and construction, not just engineers. AIRAH delivered in person training in Darwin on NCC 2019 Section J requirements on 17 October 2023. Online courses on NCC 2022 Section J requirements are available on an ongoing basis, go to the AIRAH Training website.

More information

An extensive range of guidance materials is available on the DIPL projects website, including detailed information on implementation of commercial energy efficiency provisions.
