Australia update his geographical location after his displacement by 1,7 meters during 22 years only !!!
The displacement of tectonic plates caused the movement of Australia continent by 7 cm toward north and little toward east every year, total of 1,5 meters of displacement since last registration in 1994, because Australia exist above the most fast tectonic plate.
The geographers confirms the needs to validate the maps ,where the location such as Sydney Opera will be out of the current location by 2 meters at the beginning of 2020.
Because of that the state agency geography in Australia is seeking to review the latitude and longitude to match the new position precisely, and correct the navigation errors associated with satellites and amendment Australian coordinate system known as Geocentric Datum of Australia and synchronized with international records.
This correction will maintain the accuracy of satellites data ,addition to service and technologies based on geographical locations such as self-driving cars and drones.
