How widely is Australia adopting the GDA?
All Australian governments – state, territory and commonwealth – have agreed to adopt the GDA94 datum during 2000/2001. This includes changing Acts and Regulations which determine the datum used for many dealings between government and the community, such as mining tenements, a great range of maps, reporting of various information. It is this interaction which means that most people who use maps or coordinates will need to change their methods.
