The Australian Geoscience Council believes that geoscience
professionals and technicians in industry have an important role in the
gathering, management, interpretation and dissemination of geoscientific data in
the national interest. Industries reliant on geoscientific data are wide
reaching and include (but are not restricted to) minerals, petroleum, land and
water resources, construction, finance and investment, the environment and
conservation. The Council strongly endorses the vital role which geoscience
plays in industry in the following areas:
 | effective business and management decision making through efficient
communication and interflow of geoscientific information;
| creating value for enterprises and ultimately the nation through the
exploration for and development of resources;
| achieving sustainable development objectives through the effective use and
management of geoscientific data, information and resources;
| upholding standards and ethics generally but particularly as it relates to
statutory government and corporation law reporting requirements;
| fostering responsible community consultation and actions by adherence to
appropriate accepted codes of conduct, and
| upholding and promoting technical and community standards in the growing
international exposure of Australian geoscience.
