May 2014 Issue 58
Well the 2014 Australian Federal budget has been presented and I am sure you all have an opinion on what was handed down. Of course, it is not all a “fait accompli”, aspects need to be passed by the lower and upper houses of parliament. Chairman of the Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA), Gary Nairn, said “the Federal Budget’s emphasis on accelerating infrastructure will be welcomed by its members. Much of the initial investment in infrastructure will be the acquisition of spatial information from aerial photography, LiDAR or ground based technologies so our SIBA members will be at the forefront of this investment. For example, the big spend on roads will particularly see our mapping and surveying companies increase their activity. Many SIBA members will also benefit from the 1.5% reduction in company tax and will be particularly pleased with the announcement of $1 billion to address red tape reduction,” he said. This could possibly lead to an increase in jobs in the industry, so brush up your resumes and your social media profiles.
Searching for news and events uncovered this new app Isoscope which can tell you how far you can go in 10 minutes, sometimes that could be a good thing, other times you could be inclined to just get out of the car and walk! But there is probably a law against abandoning one’s vehicle in the middle of the road. There is also a pedestrian option, maybe more of us should take that option and then the traffic would get further in 10 minutes…………….
