Latitude and Longitude - Find Coordinates (using interactive map)

 

The latitude and longitude fields are to indicate the latitude and longitude of the capital works project and should be provided as decimal degrees with up to five decimal places.

There may be some instances where a single latitude and longitude for the project cannot be provided. For example if the project takes place across a large area of the state, such as a railroad development, then there is a tick box that may be clicked on to indicate no coordinates are required or appropriate. If this is the case a new field will appear for you to enter in an explanation on why coordinates cannot or should not be provided.
