GFIS is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) based tool for managing vast amounts of spatial information. It allows for centralised access to a wide range of geographical information concerning a given location.

The benefits of GFIS are:

• Reduction of risk; when contractors know the location of under-ground services there is far less chance they will be damaged when excavated.
• Fast diagnosis on failures of underground systems as well as accurate direction to ensuring their rapid shut down or reinstatement.
• As a planning tool to assist in development of future stages and renovations to existing developments.

Datasets in GFIS include:

• Water Reticulation
• Sormwater Systems 
• Sewerage Reticulation
• Telephony
• Irrigation
• Topographic
• Electricity
• CATV
• Street Furniture
• Landscape Assets
• Mechanical Ventilation
• Structures (Bridges, Buildings, etc)
