March 2004: Woodward IT was contracted to develop an intranet
interface for the capture of water maintenance locations and details.
The maintenance information is entered through an internet browser by
field officers, who enter details about the maintenance and the
location. Maintenance locations can be queried for a history of the
maintenance at a site, and managers can also see graphically which
assets are constantly being maintained for future strategic planning.

September 2003: Two weeks of training were provided to the
new GIS Team Leader, who will manage GIS at Rockhampton.

June 2003: In a major project, WIT was responsible for
migrating a HPux GIS server running Oracle to a RedHat 8.0 server
running PostgreSQL. As well as changing O/S platforms, all
applications previously integrated with Oracle has to be
migrated to PostgreSQL.

May 2003: Woodward IT developed an application known as
RockyStorm which is used for the spatial capture and
attribute capture of drainage assets in the city. The application
runs on Linux, stores topologic data directly to Council's GIS
and attributes to Oracle. The application is responsible for
automatically mintaining the topology of the network.

|
March 2003: In response to a request for software,
Woodward IT developed
TradeWaste Plus
to manage the process
of recording information against trade waste accounts. The
application had to be designed to allow the relevant data to
be entered, but also "extremely" user friendly.
The application is linked in with their GIS intranet to provide
mapping integration.

September 2002: Two presentations were written and made to
an IT steering committee on the benefits of a survey accurate
cadastre and aerial photography to raise awareness to the
organisation of where GIS should be headed.
|
|
|
August 2002: WIT was responsible for planning and undertaking
a project to convert all Rockhampton's map data from AMG to the
Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA). Over 3 gigabytes of spatial data
was identified, converted and tested within 2.5 days.

|
August 2002: As part of a continual part-time role as GIS
coordinator, Woodward IT was responsible for moving the
GIS intranet
from Web Broker to GenaServer. The GIS intranet application
is extremely crucial and integrated with the organisation so the
shift had to be seemless, and without loss of functionality.

|
July 2002: Woodward IT developed an application known as
RockyPathway which is used for the spatial capture and
attribute capture of pathway assets in the city. The application
running on HPux, stores topologic data directly to Council's GIS
and attributes to Oracle.
|
|
|
April 2002: Woodward IT developed an application known as
RockyAsset which is used to capture and maintain water and
sewer assets. The application maintains a 100% topologic network
automatically unlike any other GIS asset application.
The application allows new assets to be entered by a variety of
topological methods such as distance along a line, trimming,
extending, and snapping to a construction layer. As well all of the
attributes are stored directly to Oracle and accessed through
simple dialogs.

|
November 2001: Woodward IT was contracted to undertake the
role of GIS coordinator for a two week period. The role entailed
the scheduling and staffing of some large spatial projects such as
GDA converion, metadata capture and rural road addressing. There
were also some minor tasks involved in enhancing their
GISWeb product.

|
June 2001: Woodward IT was involved in performing some water
network map data fix up for Rockhampton City Council. Rocky were
looking at running their GIS data through WaterCad for analysis.
Until that stage they had their water mains broken at each valve and
hydrant into separate assets. This increased the number of mains
they were storing, too many for WaterCad.
WITs involvement was to automate the process of merging the separate
mains back into longer mains without losing any information. As well
as this WIT was involved in a lot of data validation on the map date
for the water network.

|
March 2001: Woodward IT was contracted to perform some ad-hoc
GIS training for a new starter. The training was more tailored
around using local data and real-world examples than any formal
course material.
|
|
|
March 2000: Woodward IT was responsible for installing and
fully developing an
Intranet GIS Application
to be used by all Council staff for the query of map and address
information. Functionality includes:
- Latest use of DHTML methods for flyout menus
- Standard navigation and layer management for zooming in, out,
to scale and selecting layers to be displayed, with links to
metadata
- HTML report generation on property queries
- Searching of maps to highlight roads, properties or addresses
- Display of associated photos and scanned images such as
blockage plans
- Dynamic creation and download of DXF files of all map
information in the display area.

|
September 2000: WIT was contracted by Rockhampton to perform
system administration and configuration for a new HP Unix
workstation. This involved installing software, account creation,
migration of Oracle database and web server setup.
