Spatial memory for asset owners
Site Memory gives asset owners a spatial memory of surveys, investigations, and site-specific evidence already commissioned across their organisation.
Before commissioning another survey, search the place first.
Example City Council · Bicentennial Park. Translucent footprints are organisation-owned evidence. The dashed boundary is a proposed works area. Coverage is a spatial observation, not a professional determination.
Department A
Parks commissions a feature survey
Department B
Stormwater commissions an overlapping survey
Department C
Capital Works prepares to commission a third
Site Memory
Project information tends to remain attached to projects. Site Memory attaches knowledge to place.
Public and enterprise spatial datasets describe the landscape at useful scales. Specialist investigations add much finer information. Site Memory preserves that increase in resolution instead of allowing it to disappear when the project ends.
01
Government mapping
Cadastre, imagery, flood, soils, planning overlays.
02
Asset and planning information
Registers, corridors, constraints at precinct scale.
03
Specialist investigations
Feature survey, geotech, utilities, ecology — paid for, then often lost.

What do we actually need to know before acting?
Commission only the remaining gaps, after a qualified person reviews fitness for purpose.
Site Memory must never imply that an old survey exists, therefore you do not need another survey. Existing information has been identified. Assess its fitness for the intended purpose before reuse.
