From paper sketches and legacy files to trusted digital asset data, Mangoesmapping is helping councils modernise critical infrastructure information.

Through Local Buy Arrangements, their recent project with Cook Shire Council digitised sewer drawings, introduced GNSS receivers and field technology, and improved access to reliable mapping for day-to-day operations.
