Geospatial analytics and GIS

At Northstream Analytic, we offer advanced GIS and geospatial analysis services built on over 20 years of experience across business, government, and academia. We combine technical excellence in ArcGIS, QGIS, and custom-built spatial platforms with deep domain knowledge to deliver insights that inform critical decisions across energy, water, resources, infrastructure, transport, and defence.

What We Do

  • High-Resolution Mapping & Visualisation
    Create clear, interactive maps for communication, planning, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Advanced Spatial Data Analysis
    Model spatial relationships, proximity, network flows, environmental overlays, and land use dynamics.
  • Custom Tool Development
    Build automated GIS pipelines, dashboards, and bespoke spatial analysis tools tailored to client needs.
  • Multi-Scale Integration
    Work from parcel-level up to regional and national scale, using authoritative datasets and custom sources.

Tools & Platforms

  • Industry-standard platforms: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, QGIS
  • Custom solutions using Python, GeoPandas, PostGIS, and web mapping tools
  • Integration with satellite imagery, remote sensing, LiDAR, and drone data

Integrated with Systems Modelling

Our GIS capabilities are fully integrated with Northstream Analytic’s economic and natural systems models, including:

  • NS-IGEM (our regional CGE model)
  • Power system models
  • Environmental and water catchment simulations

This allows us to:

  • Model how spatial systems evolve over time
  • Link geospatial changes with economic, demographic, and environmental outcomes
  • Support scenario planning and policy impact assessments

Who We Serve

  • Business & Industry: Site selection, supply chain risk, asset risk mapping
  • Government & Councils: Infrastructure planning, spatial policy analysis, community impact assessment
  • Academia & Research: Support for geospatial components of research projects, publications, and grant proposals

Why Northstream?

  • Two decades of technical GIS expertise and domain knowledge
  • Capable of handling complex spatial data challenges from strategy to delivery
  • Unique integration of GIS with economic and environmental modelling for systems-level insights
