Australian Data Sources

InsightMaps is built for Australian map teams and supports common regional data workflows.

Regions Commonly Used

Teams often organize sources by:

  • National coverage
  • State and territory coverage
  • Local council or agency coverage

Source Types You May Add

  • Base maps for context
  • Boundaries and administrative areas
  • Transport and address layers
  • Land, property, and planning layers
  • Environmental and emergency layers

Start with a small, reliable set:

  1. One base map for daily use
  2. One boundary set for reporting
  3. One transport or address source
  4. One operational layer used by your team

How to Expand Safely

  • Add new sources in small batches
  • Check layer names before publishing
  • Place layers in clear categories
  • Remove duplicates before rollout

Governance Checklist

  • Source owner is known
  • Update cadence is documented
  • Category placement is approved
  • User impact is communicated in advance
