Figure 6.5 Are restrictions placed on the use of spatial data to external organisations?<br />

LGAs were also asked whether the use of spatial information was encouraged both within<br />

the LGA and externally. A high proportion of LGAs (75%) indicated that the use of<br />

spatial information was encouraged within the organisation, but only 23% encouraged or<br />

promoted its use to external organisations.<br />

governments. Most LGAs (56%) responded that they do not charge for their spatial data,<br />

whilst a further 19% charged a fee to cover the cost of provision only, and the remaining<br />

25% were seeking to recover some additional costs (see Figure 6.6).<br />
