 Case Studies
In this section we introduce some of the innovative and interesting projects which have been delivered by CeCC.
GIS - Corangamite Catchment Authority
In order to streamline access to a range of land information, the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (Corangamite CMA) initiated the Internet Distribution of Data Project - a web-based, interoperative Geographic Information System (GIS).
Knitting gigabites of information into an easy to use, functional, web-based environment fell to the University's Centre for eCommerce and Communications (CeCC). "Our expertise in web-based application development coupled with our extensive database development skills have provided the missing link between GIS experts and the public," says Andrew MacLeod, Manager Technical Projects with CeCC.
