Newcastle City Council: Tank Paddock & Minmi – development/conservation scenarios: GeoView managed project methodologies, budgets,and outputs. The project involved extensive data capture and acquisition, data interpretation and manipulation, data integration and map production, liaison with authorities, site visit, workshops & presentations. A series of 22 maps were produced that were used to identify the values and constraints of two juxtaposed sites. The results were designed for use in an interactive workshop. The data served as a ‘tool kit’, whereby data layers could be turned 'on' and 'off', facilitating a participatory planning approach

Pacific Hwy Upgrade - Iluka to Woodburn & Sapphire to Woolgoolga vegetation maps: Field survey data collected and referenced using GPS was imported into MapInfo GIS. Vegetation communities, endangered ecological communities (EEC’s) and threatened species distributions were thematically mapped in a series of illustrations. Data was consolidated and provided to the client in MS Excel and MapInfo format

Main Arm Village – Development Control Plan (mapping component): Adrian’s responsibilities in this significant project were the capture, acquisition, compilation and analysis of a wide range of data in a multitude of formats. The map series was developed through a extensive consultation process involving Byron Shire Council, consultants, community groups and stakeholders. Attributes were initially combined to create constraints maps, developable areas were calculated, and subsequently layout designs developed

ReGenisis Enterprises - AvalonVale Ecofarm: Adrian was responsible for the GIS based design and production of infrastructure and soil maps for site management. Adrian managed data acquisition, manipulation and map production. The results were large wall posters used for detailed farm management. Additional outcomes were planting area analysis, creek buffer calculations and other spatial calculations.

*Cape York to Coen Ground truthing Survey - Team 1: Adrian’s role was to integrate ground truthing data collected using 2 IPAQ PDA’s, vegetation transects, and field survey notes to produce a series of maps using MapInfo 8. Raw data collected included locations of threatened species, exotic species, survey points & drainage crossings, as well a range of other variables. Data was compiled and mapped to show the spatial distribution of these features over the Cape York Peninsular region. The resultant datasets were formatted and provided to the client in MapInfo TAB and ESRI shape file format.

*Lennox Eco Village – Constraints Mapping Project: A complex project involving an ecologically sensitive site, Adrian prepared a detailed tender submission and developed a methodology for categorising the site characteristics and determining the site’s development potential. Adrian was responsible for all data acquisition, data management and map production. An initiative Adrian introduced to collect metadata for all the mapping characteristics proved vital to assessing the validity of mapping results in the later stages of the project.

*Consolidated Rutile Limited (CRL) – GIS Database Design, construction and management: Adrian was integral in all aspects of project management for this major project. From the initial tender process, composing the technical application and fee schedules to all technical tasks and staff training. Adrian conducted four site visits to North Stradbroke Island involving presentations and workshops to CRL’s senior management team. Other responsibilities included managing the operational aspects of the project, including all software, hardware and network issues. The outcomes of this work was the establishment of a fully integrated GIS with a customised search and retrieval system.

Hinterland Coastal Design – House extension (John & Veronica Reynolds): 3D drawings were produced for an architecturally designed two-storey dwelling in Noosa Queensland. Results included site plan, existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, as well as timber framing and bracing plans. The project involved site measure-up, all CAD work using Architectural Desktop 3.3, printing and digital 3D modelling.
