What we do

The team manages and maintains Cornwall Council's Geographical Information Systems (GIS) infrastructure. 

We use GIS to provide staff access to spatial datasets held within the council to support a range of public services and statutory roles.

The GIS Team:

  • build

  • manage

  • and provide access

to a range of web maps and applications accessible to staff and the public.

These include simplified, interactive maps for users to determine the location of certain council assets and boundaries, run simple spatial queries and create basic print outs.

It is our also our responsibility to ensure the council remains compliant with all existing geospatial copyright and statutory obligations including the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement.

For further information please see section 15 of the website terms of use.
