The formation of the PIP Migration Stakeholder Management Committee was a major recommendation of the 2005 evaluation of the Property Information Program (see below). It is comprised of senior representatives from key stakeholder groups and is fundamental to ensuring that PIP achieves the benchmark performance targets recommended by the Evaluation.
Property Information Program Evaluation
A major evaluation of PIP, commissioned by the Municipal Association of Victoria, the Local Government Spatial Reference Group and the Department of Sustainability and Environment, was conducted throughout 2005.
It reviewed the processes used to maintain Vicmap Property and identified a set of practices that could improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the PIP. The result is a detailed assessment of its achievements and the potential barriers to creating a long term and sustainabile Program.
The purpose of the Evaluation, conducted by Alexander Tomlinson Pty Ltd, was to assess Council performance against 'best practice' in executing PIP maintenance processes; and to recommend a migration plan that will assist each Council to move closer towards that goal within a sustainabile Program environment.
The Evaluation concluded that the collaborative partnership established by PIP is an achievement not matched anywhere else, either in Australia or internationally, a high level of skills and expertise among participants has been established, and there has been a significant improvement in the accuracy and integrity of local council property records. However, there are major issues associated with the resourcing of the Program and maintaining the currency of Vicmap Property that could seriously impact its long term future. The PIP is potentially one of the fundamental building blocks of an e-State Strategy and a major component of a State Land Information Infrastructure.
