Abstract
The advent of computer technology, and in particular the improved cost/performance of computer graphics during the past five years, provides an opportunity for governments in all countries to introduce major improvements in the traditional methods and procedures of managing land information. Unless governments concurrently appreciate that the problems of land administration transgress the traditional departmental responsibilities and require a corporate infrastructure to manage the application of the new technologies, then the opportunity to bring about desired improvements in land administration may be lost for all time. Simply computerising existing departmental requirements is not the solution and may in fact escalate the “crisis in land management” as a legacy for future generations. The initiatives and infrastructure supporting the Western Australian Land Information System have been widely acclaimed as a model worthy of adoption by governments in other countries.
