Technology innovators are being invited to offer suggestions about how Sydney’s emerging ‘third city’, Bradfield, can tap smart city technologies to help the “city for the future” meet its goals around clean energy, digital connectivity, circular economy, and other areas.
After years of planning that will see the new Bradfield City Centre – a 30-hectare patch of the 100-hectare suburb, located just north of Bringelly – positioned as a major commercial centre as part of Western Sydney’s aerotropolis, the newly announced market sounding process sees the NSW Government canvassing technology and service providers for proposals about how to make the new city as future-proof as possible.

To help identify and act on current and potential future public safety threats, smart city technology is a critical resource for leaders of city councils.
Modern safety applications, powered by Industrial IoT (IIoT) infrastructure, utilise correlated sensor data from devices like flood monitoring sensors, pole tilt sensors, traffic monitoring sensors and air quality devices to identify trends and predict imminent danger, enabling cities to respond more effectively to ensure community safety.
