Applications
TerriaJS is built on collaboration and data federation. New features are developed in partnership with data custodians and publishers. Each product owner funds specific features, but the benefit is returned to all: developers, publishers, end users. Here are some examples of our work.
National Map
NationalMap is the flagship Australian Government spatial data platform established in 2014 by the Department of Communications. Its core approach is data federation and a slick user interface, all in a web browser. The users, including government, business and the public can easily access over 13,000 datasets from over 50 organisations, ranging from Australian Commonwealth departments and agencies, State, Territory and Local governments and others. The NationalMap catalogue is a combination of curated and automatically ingested data from data.gov.au. Major stakeholders involved in NationalMap’s management include the Prime Minister & Cabinet (PM&C), Digital Transformation Agency (DTA), the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Geoscience Australia (GA).
NationalMap is managed and maintained by: Geoscience Australia - platform ownership and CSIRO’s Data61 - software development.

NSW Spatial digital twin visualisation service
The NSW Spatial Digital Twin Visualisation Service (DTVS) is an interactive live data discovery, sharing and visualisation platform for a range of data including 3D and 4D spatial data, BIMs (building information models), and sensors (IoT). By integration data sets from across NSW Government through the Spatial Collaboration Portal, and the Commonwealth, the platform helps to enable integrated urban planning. When launched in February 2020, the NSW Spatial Digital Twin was the largest in the world by geographic coverage, with 3D and 4D datasets for Greater Western Sydney.
QLD spatial digital twin prototype
The QLD Spatial Digital Twin prototype is an evolving 4D data platform that enables users to discover, visualise, analyse and share a rich range of datasets. The catalogue includes 2D and 3D visualisations of land and property information, detailed representations of fixed infrastructure and real-time information such as transport, weather, water and energy generation data. In addition to the platform, as part of the QLD Digital Twin program, QLD Government commissioned the development of a Framework for Spatially Enabled Digital Twins, to help guide building and operating digital twins in QLD.
Owner: QLD Department of Resources and Advance Queensland
DIgital twin victoria
Digital Twin Victoria is bringing together diverse open and restricted datasets from across the public sector in one, easy to use platform; making better use of existing digital assets for data-driven decision making. It will enable access to thousands of Victorian and national 2D, 3D and live data, to visualise and interpret built and natural environments.

digital earth australia
The Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Map is a platform for accessing DEA satellite imagery based data products, such as surface reflectance - imagery from Landsat an Sentinel - 2 satellites; water observations - continent scale map of surface water; coastlines - satellite data combined with tidal modelling; intertidal elevation and extents; high and low tide imagery; mangroves; fractional cover and waterbodies.
Owner: Geoscience Australia - Digital Earth Australia Programme
Digital earth africa
The Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) Map aims to provide easy access to spatial information on the African continent to help translate satellite data into decision-ready information that benefits African countries. DE Africa translates Earth Observation (EO) data into ready-to use information to assist decision making about soil and coastal erosion, agriculture, deforestation, desertification, water quality and changes to human settlements.
Owners & partners: Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, Australian Government through the Digital Earth Africa program
Pacific map
The PacificMap is a platform for map-based access to data from 22 Pacific Island Countries and Territories. The platform brings together geospatial datasets from the Pacific Data Hub catalogue sourced from the Pacific Community Secretariat’s technical divisions and member countries. The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
Owner: Pacific Community Secretariat (SPC) - Pacific Data Hub
national Drought map
The National Drought Map helps users find a range of information on drought conditions and associated support measures for affected communities. It provides access to spatial data from Australian Government agencies involved in drought prevention and management.

National environmental information infrastructure (NEII)
The NEII Viewer was an information platform designed to improve discovery, access and re-use of nationally significant environmental data. The Bureau of Meteorology was leading the development of the information infrastructure with partners from the NEII Reference Group. The NEII program has been decommissioned on 15 June 2022., with the majority of data services being transferred onto NationalMap. Here is the full list of data and their continued availability.
geoglam Raap
The GEOGLAM RAPP Map is the spatial data platform for the Rangeland and Pasture Productivity activity which is part of the Group on Earth Observations Global Agricultural Monitoring (GEOGLAM) initiative.
The online platform gives access to information about the state and condition of global rangelands. It provides time-series data on the vegetation and environmental conditions, allowing national and regional tracking of the resources which sustain livestock production. It has been developed by CSIRO’s Data61 in collaboration with National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and the AusCover facility. RAPP Map is supported by CSIRO’s Land & Water business unit and through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme.

kaleidoscope - australian marine spatial portal
Kaleidoscope is a mapping portal for discovery and access of marine spatial datasets developed by CSIRO’s Oceans & Atmosphere business unit.
Owner: CSIRO’s Oceans & Atmosphere
australian renewable energy mapping infrastructure (AREMI)
AREMI was an energy focused data platform to assist investors in renewable energy projects with decision making. It provided over 7,000 datasets ranging from renewable resources, electricity infrastructure, demography, cadastre and research. The information is now available on the Australian NationalMap, under the Energy data group.
investor map
The InvestorMap was developed initially as part of the White Paper on Northern Australia and has since expanded to areas of southern Australia. The aim was to provide easy access to information relevant to investors interested in developments in Northern Australia. Data has since been incorporated into NationalMap.

State of Environment 2016 (SoE)
The Australia State of Environment (SoE) 2011 - 2016 report was prepared by independent experts using a range of best available information to support assessments of environmental condition, pressures, management effectiveness, resilience, risks and outlooks. The platform supported the digital communication of the State of Environment 2011-16 and its data has since been transferred to Australian NationalMap.
