Challenge & Solution

From fragmented data sourcing to a unified, license-free EO platform across state agencies

Multiple agencies, no shared way to access Earth Observation data

An Australian state government needed high-resolution EO data to support its initiatives in conservation, biodiversity, and environmental management. Each state agency had its own analyst pool, its own use cases, and its own procurement workflow — but no shared platform. The lack of a unified data layer made it difficult to streamline collection, analysis, and application across departments.

01
No centralised platform for EO data access

Agencies sourced imagery independently, duplicating effort, cost, and storage across departments.

02
Restrictive EULAs blocked inter-agency collaboration

Per-seat licensing limited how data could be re-shared and re-used inside government — slowing cross-department analysis.

03
Limited internal EO capability

Without training and a usable platform, EO data did not reach the analysts and field teams who would benefit most.

A unified EO platform — license-free for state agencies

LC60 AI built and delivered an advanced EO data platform designed to enhance access, usability, and collaboration across multiple state agencies. The licensing model removed traditional EULA barriers, so once an agency had access, it could share, analyse, and apply the data without compliance friction.

01
900,000 km² of high-resolution EO data delivered

Coverage of the state’s priority areas of interest for conservation, biodiversity, and resource management.

02
Centralised platform for seamless EO data access

A single integration point for every agency — replacing fragmented per-agency procurement and storage.

03
No restrictive EULA limitations

Agencies can share, analyse, and apply data internally without per-seat licensing or compliance overhead.

04
Capability building through targeted workshops

Hands-on workshops for agency teams on applying EO data to conservation and biodiversity initiatives.
