Read the 2030 Space + Spatial Industry Growth Roadmap
The 2030 Space + Spatial Industry Growth Roadmap is the product of extensive, industry-wide consultation, setting out nine high-priority objectives that, if undertaken, will help ensure Australia’s interlinked space and spatial industries maximise their growth potential, and deliver critical services to Australia’s governments, commercial and defence sectors, and the wider community.
Published in March 2023 and presented to the Australian Space Agency, the Roadmap not only lays out how Australia should develop its space and spatial capabilities and technologies, but how exploring the current and potential value for Australia arising from the intersection of the two.

Space+Spatial Industry Growth Roadmap 2030
In this information age economic success, societal well-being and national security pivots around our ability to collect, disseminate, understand and exploit complex sets of data in a timely and effective manner.
Space and spatial capabilities are central to achieving this and can provide essential data and services to support areas of national importance such as land and water security, emergency management, and autonomous systems and smart cities management.
The ‘SPACE+SPATIAL’ Roadmap is being developed to:
HIGHLIGHT
the strategic importance of a strong Australian space and spatial capability
IDENTIFY
the critical characteristics of such a capability
OUTLINE
the steps required to realise an integrated space and spatial eco-system that will be a key national asset
IDENTIFY
industry growth opportunities and propose actions to grow the space and spatial sectors

SPACE+SPATIAL
This national industry road mapping is not just about developing our space and spatial capabilities and technologies. It is also exploring the current and potential value for Australia arising from the intersection of the two.
... MEETS...
A coordinated, strategic approach to integration of Australia’s space and spatial sectors would have many benefits.
... SPATIAL
The spatial disciplines impact all our lives everywhere, every day. For more context, visit the Spatial Explained page.
The spatial industry can play a significant role in contributing to the Government’s three key objectives for the space industry by 2030:
