Access To Digital Earth Satellite Imagery
Date of effect From 2019-20

$36.9 million will be provided to give governments, businesses, researchers and individuals with access - through the Digital Earth Australia program - to reliable standardised satellite data. This data can be used to build new digital products and services for commercial purposes, and to interpret and analyse changes to Australia’s physical landscape, enabling better understanding of environmental changes, such as coastal erosion, crop growth and water quality. Access to satellite imagery data has a broad range of applications including assisting farmers to monitor animal grazing patterns and increase the efficiency and utilisation of their land.
