Next-Gen Environmental Data Portal For Public Data

The challenge is how can publicly available environmental data be combined and presented to make it meaningful and useful to anyone in the community.

There is demand within the NSW community for a holistic understanding of environmental impacts on properties, business, industries and lands.

The relevant environmental data is held by NSW Government agencies, but these exist as individual data sets and largely in formats that require scientific or technical knowledge to interpret.

The challenge is to visualise how these data sets can be presented in combination and in a meaningful way to address community needs.

The available data is spatial and non-spatial, publicly available Water, Land and Air data – plus associated datasets such as health, land and resource boundaries and government reports
