ItemDeveloping the concept of a marine cadastre: an Australian case study( 2004-05)In the terrestrial environment, it is the cadastre and initiatives such as the creation of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) that are facilitating greater decision making in areas of sustainable development. The ability of such tools and initiatives to facilitate effective decision-making and spatial data access mechanisms within the marine environment has given rise to research into a marine cadastre. Such a cadastre aims to define, visualise and realise legally defined maritime boundaries and the rights, restrictions and responsibilities attached to them.

ItemAustralian Marine Cadastre Research and Activities( 2003)The marine cadastre is an important topic for research both internationally, and particularly in Australia. With this in mind, Department of Geomatics at the University of Melbourne is involved in different national and international collaborative research projects. The main objectives of these activities are looking at defining the issues to be considered in the context of developing an Australian marine cadastre and facilitation for the development of a set of guidelines appropriate to the Asian and Pacific region for the design of marine cadastres. This report aims to describe both national and international activities and involvement of the Marine Cadastral Research Group at Department of Geomatics, University of Melbourne. The report provides an overview of the incentive, objectives and principle tasks as well as the results of current research activities. These activities aims to act as an aid in designing the features and capabilities of a future marine cadastre for Australia.

ItemIssues in defining the concept of a marine cadastre for Australia( 2003)Australia's ratification and subsequent implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has given the government responsibility for the management of a marine environment double the size of the country's land mass. Such a management initiative must take into account the economic, social and environmental needs of marine stakeholders, as well as incorporating international and national tools of governance. In the terrestrial environment, it is the cadastre and initiatives such as the creation of the Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure (ASDI) that are facilitating greater decision making in areas such as sustainable development. The ability of such tools and initiatives to facilitate effective decision-making and spatial data access mechanisms within the marine environment has given rise to research into a marine cadastre. Such a cadastre aims to define, visualise and realise legally defined maritime boundaries and the rights, restrictions and responsibilities attached to them. With this in mind, this paper aims to identify and quantify the various themes which are driving the development of an Australian marine cadastre, as well as attempting to define the concept of a marine cadastre through an investigation into the current international research into marine cadastral systems.
