GIS consultant NSW

Geospatial consulting across New South Wales: GIS mapping, planning and development maps, topographic mapping, GIS data processing and spatial data services for councils, consultants and developers.

Working in the NSW planning environment

New South Wales has one of the most complex planning and land management environments in Australia. State Environmental Planning Policies, local environmental plans, development control plans and a wide range of state and regional overlays mean that accurate, current mapping is essential to any development, planning or land management project in the state.

Aeris Spatial is a Sydney-based GIS consultant operating across NSW and all of Australia. Our work spans the full spatial data lifecycle: sourcing and processing NSW government datasets, producing council-ready mapping outputs, running spatial analysis, and building custom GIS tools. We work daily with NSW government spatial data and understand what NSW councils and the NSW Planning Portal require for DA submissions, infrastructure projects, property mapping and data processing.

Whether your project sits in inner-city Sydney, the western growth corridors, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast or a remote rural property in the far west, we deliver fast, accurate outputs to your requirements. For Sydney-specific work, see our Sydney mapping services page.
