[talk-au] Vic gov data request denied

[Little Maps]

Hi all, some disappointing news. Our request to extend our existing waiver to the Vic Gov Vic Topo datasets to other gov departmental datasets has been denied. See the message below. For background, this request was discussed here late last year:

By my reading this doesn’t invalidate our existing waiver, just the use of other datasets not covered by it, but I’ll leave others to decode it further. Best wishes Ian
