Land information - or spatial information - comes in many forms, but is essentially information about our physical environment. It can include information about land parcels, roads, buildings, soils, vegetation, topography (slope, form, or the "lie" of the land), or even street addresses. Any information about things in the physical world with a spatial component (that is, can be geographically "placed" in, on, or around the Earth's surface) is essentially land information. It can include elements from both the natural world and the built environment.

Land Information can be digital data on a computer system, or it can be an image from an aerial photograph. It can be a satellite image, a map of Australia, or maybe a plan showing your house on your block of land.

The ACT Land Information Centre (ACTLIC), produces, updates and maintains many types of land information, from the smallest detail of a kerb and gutter in an engineering survey drawing, to the extent of the ACT border.

ACTLIC is responsible for many kinds of land information in the ACT, as well as the Territory's primary land information system, the Spatial Data Management System (SDMS). SDMS is a set of digital databases covering the ACT, comprising many layers of spatial data. The fundamental base layer of SDMS is the land parcel or cadastral layer, which is recognised to be the most comprehensive and accurate cadastral database in Australasia.

Other types of land information for which ACTLIC is responsible include Survey Geodetic Control, Survey Marks, Addresses and Place Names.

The "ACT Planning and Land Authority" is a ACT Government's agency that has responsibility for strategic and land planning, lease administration, land information, development and building regulation and surveying data and maps in Canberra and the ACT.

"ACTLIC" provides products, services, expert advice and coordination for survey, mapping and other land information services in the ACT, and administers both private and Government cadastral surveying in the ACT.

In 1913, when the Canberra area was no more than an outback sheep station divided by the Molonglo River, a ceremony was held to name the city. "Canberra", as a new name for the capital, was a sentimental favourite and logical choice. The name probably derived from a local Aboriginal word for "meeting place" and had been in common use in the district for more than three-quarters of a century. The people of Australia, nevertheless, responded with imagination and good humour to a Government invitation to find a suitable name for their future capital.

"Cookaburra", "Wheatwoolgold" and "Kangaremu" headed a list of Australiana which also included "Sydmelperadbrisho" and "Meladneyperbane". Politics prompted other names such as "Swindleville", "Gonebroke" and "Caucus City".

Scottish Place Names
- Canberra, Australia

Of the names of the 132 suburbs in the Canberra-Queanbeyan area, 48 (36.4%) refer either to place names that can be found in Scotland or to Scottish family names. Of course, some of the names are used in other parts of the British Isles as well, but at least 27 (20.5%) of these appear to be uniquely Scottish.

Canberra is a planned city, created in the early twentieth century as the capital of the newly federated Commonwealth of Australia. A few of its suburbs have names that were already in common usage before the city was founded, for example, the names of homesteads or early settlers. However, the vast majority of Canberra's suburban names honour Australian politicians, explorers and cultural or sporting personalities. The Scottish-related names are therefore a comment on the Scottish diaspora across Australia as a whole and should not be interpreted as referring to Scottish settlement of Canberra itself. The proportion of place names in Canberra that have a Scottish connection appears to be the second highest of any major city in the world outside Scotland - exceeded only by Dunedin in New Zealand. This reflects the sizeable number of Australian explorers, politicians, colonial administrators and other famous people who were either born in Scotland or whose roots were Scottish.

Seit der Gründung Australiens stritten die beiden wichtigsten Städte des Landes, Sydney und Melbourne darum, welche die Hauptstadt werden solle. Zunächst wurde Melbourne die Hauptstadt, allerdings begann eine Kommission mit einer siebenjährigen Suche nach dem Standort für eine neue Hauptstadt. 1908 kam es zur Abstimmung, bei der sich eine knappe Mehrheit für ein Stück Land entschied, das 300 Kilometer von Sydney und 650 Kilometer von Melbourne entfernt lag. Ihren Namen bekam die Stadt von den Ureinwohnern des Landes. In der Sprache der Aborigines bedeutet "Kamberra" so viel wie "Treffpunkt".
