Abstract
Australia is a large continent with a relatively low population which is highly dependent on the mining, agricultural and transport industries for economic prosperity. These industries are themselves increasingly dependent on having access to high-quality geodetic infrastructure, especially when seeking operating efficiencies. Australia is also surrounded to the north and east by some of the most seismically active zones in the world, and is geographically isolated by the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. This combination of characteristics creates some interesting challenges for the Australian Government in maintaining, developing and delivering a stable reference frame as a platform upon which a precise positioning capability can be established for science and society more generally. This presentation will detail recent GGOS related efforts in Australia to improve the accuracy of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). It will also discuss crustal deformation monitoring programs that allow ITRF based precise positioning services to be used in areas where localized deformation is not detected by existing GGOS infrastructure. Lastly, the presentation will also summarise efforts currently underway to enhance the provision of access to the ITRF anywhere, anytime across the Australian landmass in real time.
