GIS Networks

A number of GIS networks have been established around Queensland. The aim of these networks is to provide regional support and information on GIS and Spatial Technologies.

Each of these networks are supported by industry to further develop links. The details for these networks are outlined below. Contact the specified person for each region if you are interested in furthering your GIS circles.
