About the VisualPlace Map
The VisualPlace Map provides you with an interactive GIS-enabled application to map and visualise government data and services.
Find Services in Your Local Area
Search through a wide range of services categories such as schools, hospitals and education for services within your local area and view your results on the VisualPlace Map.

Thematic Mapping
Search and map data at both state and local government area levels. Data includes a wide range of facts about a community such as citizen demographics, employment, education, and health. Create more detailed maps by overlaying locations of services with thematic data.

Your web browser may already have Silverlight installed. If not, the first time you use Visual Place you will be prompted to install it.
Otherwise you can install Silverlight here.
