Spatial and GIS

At Tonkin, we offer an experienced approach to spatial data development and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). We have a strong history developing and utilising GIS software to solve a range of problems from infrastructure management to multi-criteria land use analysis.

As a vendor neutral consultancy, we will work with various GIS software packages including those provided by ESRI, Precisely, TechOne and other software such as QGIS, GIS Cloud and Intramaps Roam.

We also provide annual service agreements to enable access to skilled GIS resources on an as-needed basis. With more than 18 years of knowledge and experience in delivering customised services to small to medium sized Local Government Councils, Tonkin understand the unique requirements and challenges that these Councils have with spatial enablement. Our annual service agreement is aimed at supporting these Councils with managing and maintaining their enterprise GIS.

Additionally, we work together with our asset management team to provide fit-for-purpose asset management solutions for Councils to maintain and visualise a knowledge base of their infrastructure they are responsible for. This allows Councils to make informed decisions to achieve their organisation goals and strategies.

We support Councils in achieving this by understanding their needs and providing solutions to manage infrastructure over its lifecycle. Our key differentiator is the ability to integrate and visualise information from other systems with spatial data to assist decision making processes and increase efficiency.
