Based on ITRF 1992, Epoch 1 January 1994.
AFN - 8 CORS Sites – 2 in WA
ANN - 79 Campaign GPS Sites – 20 in WA
Statefix - 80 campaign GPS sites in WA
Implemented in WA on 4 December 2000.
Shift from AGD84 ~ 200m

Geodetic Datum
Drivers for Change – An explosion of Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Geodetic Datum
Drivers for Change – More Uses
Precision positioning will
contribute 2.1% of Australia’s
GDP by 2030
Automated mines,
driverless cars,
UAVs
Geodetic Datum
Drivers for Change – More Users
Precise coordinates
for and by the
masses
(no monopoly for
surveyors
anymore)

GDA 2020 - What are we aiming for







Datum that supports +/- 2 cm user positioning (PU 95% CL)
Datum updated continuously as new observations are contributed
Fully 3-D datum (i.e. ellipsoidal)
Datum supports the continuous update of the national Geoid model
Datum supports time-based corrections (i.e. deformation models)
Datum has tools and services that facilitate its use by the massmarket (e.g., time based transformations)
Relative uncertainty can be computed between any survey marks

Next Steps




2015 target date for completion of the
National Adjustment
Stakeholder consultation through 2013
Datum Workshop WALIS Forum
November 2013
Ongoing
 Development of the National
Adjustment
 Research through the Cooperative
Research Centre for Spatial
Information on coordinate dynamics
and streamlining data exchange and
processes.
Standards and Practices for
Control Surveys (SP1)
Brief History




First published in 1966 as Standard Specifications and
Recommended Practices for Horizontal and Vertical Control
Surveys
National Mapping Council’s first Technical Document hence the
name – Special Publication 1
Extensively revised in 1986 and renamed Standards and Practices
for Control Surveys
Many revisions from 1990-2007 - current version 1.7
Standards and Practices for Control
Surveys (SP1)
Current Status of SP1 Version 2




The current review commenced in 2009.
 Major structural change
 Shift from Class and Order to Coordinate Uncertainty
 Less prescription for survey practice guidelines
 Outcomes based
First public draft released for feedback in mid 2012.
Draft version now being revised based on feedback.
Release date 30 June 2013.

Structure of SP1 Version 2
Standards and Practices for Control
Surveys (SP1)
Purpose and Scope of SP1 Version 2



Specify minimum requirements
- For the determination of 1D, 2D or 3D position and uncertainty
of Australia’s survey control marks
Promote the adoption of uniform procedures
- To achieve the highest level of rigor and integrity in the
establishment and maintenance of Australia’s survey control
mark network
Scope – surveys that define, improve, extend or connect to the
network
- Datum control surveys
- General purpose control surveys
Standards and Practices for Control
Surveys (SP1)
The Standard

Quantifying Survey Quality
- Survey Uncertainty – based on a minimally constrained
adjustment, to evaluate the survey quality independent of the
datum
- Positional Uncertainty – based on the constrained adjustment,
to evaluate the survey quality with respect to the datum
- Relative Uncertainty – the uncertainty between survey mark
coordinates derived from SU or PU.
Standards and Practices for Control
Surveys (SP1)
The Standard


Expressing Survey Uncertainty – shall be in terms of the 95%
confidence level as either
- Standard Deviations
- Error Ellipses or
- Error Circles
AHD – PU currently unavailable, can only use SU or RU
