INTRODUCTION
The Western Australian Government has a significant asset in the land and geographic information it has collected for its own statutory functions and priorities. Land and geographic information encompasses natural resources, environment, land ownership, land use, transport, communications, mapping, infrastructure and demography. The information can be digital or hardcopy such as a printout or a map. In addition to its value to the agency capturing the information there is considerable value to other government agencies (State, Local and Federal), business and the community. There is value as a single information set or combined with others to form value added information products. The intent of this policy is to form a consistent set of policies to encourage use, reduce barriers, discourage duplication, provide equity of access and reduce costs of using land and geographic information held by WA Government agencies. These policies will complement other WALIS policies, standards and technological developments. There are three reasons why government may wish to market its land information : to manage and develop the state

Readily available and useable land and geographic information is a basis for sustainable management and development. to ensure the public has wide and convenient access to government land information An informed public can make better decisions about their business and private needs. to meet demand for integrated information products

The demand for land and geographic information from outside of Government is increasing. Typically users need information from a range of Government agencies integrated into a single product. Individual Government agencies are not well suited for this activity but by making their information available to data brokers a new industry can be fostered. The new policy has many similarities to the existing policy approved by Cabinet in February 1992. The differences are : All WA State Government agencies are included in this policy rather than a schedule of agencies approved by the Minister for Lands. Under the new policy, Local Authorities are to be treated like State Government agencies. Previously, Local Authorities were excluded from the benefits of WALIS participation. The definition of Extraction and Distribution costs has been expanded to include the, costs of providing offices, facilities, equipment and consumables necessary for staff to perform their functions of delivering data to customers. Pricing for non-commercial use within government and local authorities now depends on whether the dataset being transferred could have been produced in a contestable market.

The policy is consistent with National Competition Policy and net appropriations policy.

GENERAL POLICIES
A significant proportion of Western Australias economic development and standard of living is heavily dependent upon land related activities. For example, mining, farming, forests, transport, tourism. Much of what our State wants to do in these areas can only be achieved on the basis of accurate, consistent land and geographic information readily accessible to the private and public sectors and the community at large. This information, generally, is held in one form or another in state government agencies. For this information to be of use, amongst other things, it must be marketed and priced to encourage use.

Policy 1 (General) State Government agencies will improve access to their land information to improve the management and development of the State and discourage costly duplication of data collection, maintenance and system development. Initiatives to improve access must be consistent with this policy. This policy applies only to data that already exists at the time of transfer, and in the form held by a data custodian to meet its own responsibilities. Any editing, interpretation or transformation other than that required to convey the data in an appropriate format may attract extra charges. PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY An over-riding policy requirement relates to privacy and confidentiality. Any transfer of land information must not infringe privacy and confidentiality.

Policy 2 (Privacy and confidentiality) Agencies must not make available land and geographic information which contravenes individual privacy, commercial confidentiality, national security and information prohibited from release by existing WA legislation. When it is not clear whether some information contravenes this policy or until the advent of a Privacy Act, the matter should be referred to the Minister of the agency responsible for the information. COPYRIGHT POLICIES Land and geographic information is a type of intellectual property which is eligible for copyright protection under the Copyright Act 1968 (Commonwealth). The Crown and state government agencies are bound by the Copyright Act 1968 (Commonwealth). For a state government agency to market land and geographic information it must either own the copyright in the information or have the permission of the owner of the copyright or intellectual property. This will then provide state government agencies the right to reproduce or adapt a work and set terms and conditions for others to make copies. There are difficulties in classifying intellectual property. It is not always apparent that copyright to information held in government databases can be claimed by the Crown even if the information is acquired under statutory provision. The claim depends upon the manner in which the information is collected in the first place and the way in which the information is expressed. This inability to claim unequivocally Crown copyright for all information in government databases means each case will have to be judged on its merits. Copyright can be claimed if the original information is captured or compiled by government officers under the direction of the Crown. In the case of commissioned work, the written contract must specify the state government agencys ownership of the copyright and the original material. In cases where the original information comes from the private sector, state government agencies will need to exercise due care not to infringe any copyright when marketing such land information.

Integrated land information products are derived from multiple sources (government and nongovernment) with employees applying a significant measure of skill, ingenuity, experience and labour to develop a new product or expression. In this case there is considerable justification for a claim that copyright subsists in this new expression. Copyright can be claimed by the agency creating the database even if some of the data comes from non-government sources. The test is how much was the expression changed and how much skill, ingenuity, experience and labour was applied in deriving the new expression or product. In the future it is possible that databases may be filled electronically by third parties with very little skill or involvement by government officers apart from those skills applied in developing the necessary programs and databases. Therefore the expression of the information may not have changed and the question of copyright again is open to question on the particular facts. In this case the Crown may have to forego claims to copyright in such information or pass legislation permitting the Crown to act as though copyright was assigned to the Crown. In the interim, when digital data is deposited those processes, agreements or forms used must be altered to include an express clause assigning either to the Crown in the right of the WA Government or the agency itself, if permitted by legislation, the right to use that information. Agencies wishing to market land and geographic information must first clarify the copyright position and if necessary negotiate licensing agreements or contracts with the owners of the copyright in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Commonwealth) even if this information may have been deposited with the agency as part of a statutory requirement.

Policy 3 (Copyright) Ownership of the copyright by the Crown or a state government agency must be confirmed or an agreement concluded with the owner of copyright as specified by Section 183 of the Copyright Act before land and geographic information is made available to users. The Crown in the right of the WA Government and state government agencies must adjust the processes, agreements, or forms used to collect digital data to include an express clause assigning to the Crown in the right of WA State Government or to the agency the right to use and integrate the land and geographic information. LICENCE TO USE There is a wide range of possible uses for land and geographic information, the majority of which have positive outcomes. However, some uses are unacceptable (eg infringement of privacy or confidentiality) and other uses cannot be supported by the accuracy of the information (eg broad regional information is often not suitable for detailed local planning). Furthermore some information is subject to rapid change (land ownership) and the user will need to take care when taking action on the basis of information supplied. It is important therefore that agencies assure themselves that the customer understands any limitations in the supplied information. By the same token, agencies should not restrict access to non-confidential information unnecessarily. A disagreement on data interpretation usually isnt a misuse of data. To achieve this assurance agencies must : Provide metadata that complies with the WALIS Metadata Policy to enable the customer to determine if the data is fit for the planned use, and Establish a licence agreement with the customer to set out terms and conditions under which the use of the land information is licensed. The user will only be licensed to use data, the ownership of government land information must not be transferred. Clients or licensees may not provide copies of the information to third parties unless explicitly permitted to do so by the licence agreement. Examples of standard WALIS licences are on the WALIS website.

Policy 4 (Licences and Metadata) Distribution of land and geographic information will continue to occur in accordance with licences or other appropriate agreements that specify amongst other things adherence to the WALIS Metadata Policy, the rights of the licensee to copy, on-sell or otherwise distribute the information to third parties.

Commercial use of land and geographic information Licensing agreements between State Government agencies or between a State Government agency and the private sector to use information for commercial purposes must address as a minimum the following ; details of the metadata of the information. the conditions under which licensees may or may not provide copies of the land information to third parties. parameters of allowable use, privacy and confidentiality and existing WA Government legislative practises. terms, charges and conditions (with penalties for infringement) the extent of legal liability of the WA Government in any modified, value added or integrated information products. the management of intellectual property in accordance with current Government policy.

Where the licensee is permitted to sell the information to multiple third parties the following specific items must also be addressed : payment schedule including royalty payments, access by the Minister for the custodian agency, to a comprehensive register of sales of the land information. transfer of liability from WA Government to the customer especially if the licensee intends to modify, integrate or value add the land and geographic information. Non-commercial use outside WA State Government Transfers from State Government agencies to Federal and Local Government agencies, educational institutions, community groups implementing Government policy and individuals for non-commercial use must also be on the basis of licence agreements addressing the points above although not of the same complexity.

Non-commercial use within WA State Government Transfers between WA public sector agencies for non-commercial use can be based on the exchange of official letters or the existing standard Transfer Form used by Western Australian Land Information System agencies. Metadata must still be provided with the information to enable the customer to determine the fitness for use of the information. Go to Top

PRICING
These pricing policies are based on the recommendations of a Treasury Pricing Review carried out for the WALIS Executive Policy Committee. A convenient way to depict the Treasury recommendations is with the diagram beow.

The circumstances of production and distribution of land information vary considerably between government agencies and for different datasets and information products. Because of the differences between agencies, uniform application of one set of pricing principles will not maximise community benefits in distribution of land and geographic information by all agencies. Differences occur in the purposes and objectives in generating and distributing land information; the scale of land information activities; the scale of use of land information by parties external to the producing agency; the extent of competition or potential competition with the private sector in providing land information; and the extent of potential community service obligations in the provision of information. Also, many activities related to production and distribution of land information are characterised by cooperative and quid pro quo arrangements. These arrangements can be beneficial in reducing transaction costs. Any policies for distribution of land information should not preclude such arrangements where they provide for efficient resource allocation within government, although such arrangements should be transparent and subject to scrutiny. Consequently, each agency producing and distributing land information or land information products should have some flexibility in determining prices of that information in accordance with the particular circumstances. However, in accordance with a general objective of maximising benefits (including whole of government and community benefits), government investments in land information and the pricing decisions of agencies should be open to scrutiny and influence by other government agencies through WALIS Executive Policy Committee at least.

Policy 5 (Pricing - General) Pricing of individual datasets and information products should be determined by the agency designated as custodian for the information in accordance with the broad principles described below. Transfers to the Federal Government Prices for land information transferred to the Federal government shall generally be determined under the same principles as for transfer to the private sector. Arrangements for information transfer at lower or zero price are acceptable as part of cooperative arrangements that provide an efficient means for state government agencies to procure information for their own purposes or to participate in agreed national programs. Transfers to Local Government Prices of land information transferred to local governments shall be determined under the same principles as for transfer between state government agencies, whether for commercial or non-commercial use. Transfers for education, pure research and to community groups Prices of land information transferred for education and for regional or community groups working within an approved agency business plan to implement a specific Government policy or priority shall recover the costs of extraction and distribution, but not include costs of data capture and maintenance. Land information for pure research will be transferred under the same conditions once resolution of any intellectual property considerations occurs. Information transferred under this policy shall not be transferred to third parties, unless explicitly permitted by the licence agreement. Go to Top

Pricing for commercial use

Commercial uses include any use of information as an input to business activities by firms, individuals or government agencies that are undertaken for the purposes of generating revenues, income or profits, including on-selling of the information and obtaining housing or land market information.

Policy 6 (Pricing for commercial uses in both private and public sector) Regular and frequent distribution of datasets and information products to private or public sector organisations for commercial uses other than on-selling to multiple third parties, should occur at prices that recover costs of extraction and distribution of the information and a proportionate share of costs of data capture and maintenance.

WALIS Pricing & Transfer Policy

Page 5 of 17

Agencies making once off or infrequent distributions of data for commercial use shall have two options. Either to charge as above or negotiate a commercial price in excess of the cost of extraction and distribution to maximise the returns to Government. The contribution to costs of data capture and maintenance should be determined in proportion to an estimated share of total use of the data that is attributable to the purchaser. Measures of use may vary in different circumstances but would generally correspond to the number of times the data is applied to a purpose by the purchaser. The recommendation above does not preclude arrangements for information transfer at lower or zero price as part of cooperative arrangements that provide an efficient means for state government agencies to procure information for their own purposes.

Policy 7 (Pricing for Data Brokers in private and public sectors) Distribution of datasets and information products to a purchaser (private or public) for either: selling to multiple third parties, or producing a new product to be on-sold to multiple third parties,

must occur at prices determined by competitive tender or individual negotiation with the objective of maximising revenues returned to government. Go to Top

Pricing for non-commercial use by state government agencies and local government
The determination of pricing for non-commercial use of WA Government information will depend on whether there are potential alternate sources in the market for the production and maintenance of the information in question. If there is a potential alternate source of production and maintenance then the market is deemed to be contestable. If there are no potential sources of production and maintenance then the market is non-contestable. Contestability will change as market conditions change, therefore the determination and review of contestability will need to be monitored regularly. WALIS is focussing on developing a number of fundamental datasets to a base level specification. These fundamental datasets were identified in 1995 with some additions since. The base level specifications were also developed in 1995. These datasets are fundamental because they : are essential to the outcomes of a number of government agencies, and cannot be derived readily from other datasets.

The base level specifications determine the minimum specification required by government agencies to conduct their core business and achieve their required outcomes. (See Appendix A) These datasets are produced and managed almost exclusively by government because: economies in production arise from the greater powers of government to demand and collect information; the predominant use for this land information is for core government activities of administering property rights, and planning and coordinating land use; of the need for a single authoritative, consistent source; and for some land information there is a government objective of producing the information and making it available to the community as an element of infrastructure.

In Western Australia it is unlikely (for the time being) that these fundamental datasets will be contested because of the investment required to duplicate them and maintain a similar maintenance cycle. There is, however, potential for these fundamental datasets to be used as the basis for many value added products and services. For this reason all fundamental datasets produced to the base level specification (Appendix A) will be considered non-contestable.
WALIS Pricing & Transfer Policy Page 6 of 17

Policy 8 (Determination of Contestability) All fundamental datasets, as determined by WALIS Executive Policy Committee from time to time and produced to a base level specification (Appendix A) shall be considered as being produced in a non contestable market. All datasets not included in Appendix A will be considered, at the discretion of the custodian agency to be non-contestable if there is no viable alternative source of production and maintenance. All WALIS agencies will table their criteria for determining contestability of datasets not included in Appendix A with the WALIS Executive Policy Committee. WALIS Executive Policy Committee may be requested to review an agencys decision on the contestability of a dataset.

Policy 9 (Non commercial use by WA government agencies and local government) Pricing in a contestable market Distribution, to WA government agencies or local government authorities, of land information produced or maintained in the presence of alternative potential suppliers from the private sector (ie. in a contestable market) should occur at prices based on recovering costs of information production and distribution. Resources for the acquisition of the land information should be provided by appropriation to agencies purchasing the land information, who may then select between suppliers from within or outside of government. This recommendation does not preclude arrangements for information transfer at lower or zero price as part of cooperative arrangements between state government agencies that provide an efficient means for agencies to jointly procure information for joint purposes. Pricing in a non contestable market Distribution, to WA government agencies and local government authorities, of land information produced and maintained by WA government agencies in the absence of any potential competitive supply from the private sector (ie. in a non-contestable market) will be at prices based on recovery of costs of extraction and distribution. Resources for the production and maintenance of the land information should be provided directly to the custodial agencies through Parliamentary appropriations that reflect purchase of these information outputs by central government from these agencies.

DEFINITION OF COST OF EXTRACTION AND DISTRIBUTION

Extraction and distribution prices are to be based on the average cost of transfer. This will include direct costs (for example: media, computer processing and freight) as well as an estimated pro rata share of all overhead costs in providing the distribution service (for example: labour, capital equipment and promotional facilities). Prices will not include any contribution to the costs of collecting or maintaining the data. Go to Top

COMPETITION BETWEEN STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

It is quite possible for different agencies to develop similar land information products. In doing so, different conditions could be set for marketing the same product which will lead to confusion in the market place and agencies being the preferred source for information for which they are not accountable. Such a duplication of effort is not a good use of scarce public funds. Marketing conditions are a component of custodial responsibilities and it would be reasonable therefore for custodians to have the responsibility for setting these conditions.

Policy 10 (Competition between State Government Agencies) State Government agencies shall not compete with one another in marketing of the same land information. Agencies must always co-operate to market one version of such a product to avoid duplication and confusion in the market place.

FUNDAMENTAL DATASETS and their BASE LEVEL SPECIFICATIONS

A fundamental data set is one that cannot be derived from another dataset and is essential to the outcomes of a number of agencies. These are the minimum required specifications for the fundamental datasets. Some of the datasets may not currently achieve these standards but custodians are expected achieve these specifications as soon as possible
