A cutting-edge initiative that could change the way new suburbs and cities are designed, constructed and managed has been launched by the City of Parramatta Council, with the rollout of state-of-the-art technology across a 25-hectare development site in Sydney’s west.
More than 70 environmental sensors, which have been installed throughout Melrose Park, monitor and collect data on local conditions – including temperature, humidity, air quality, noise and stormwater – as the area is redeveloped. The information gathered will be analysed and used to understand the impacts of development on the surrounds, improve the area’s liveability in the long term, and inform future planning.
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters is now seeking comments on a new draft Smart City Plan, which will guide the City to becoming more digitally connected and technologically enhanced for the benefit of our entire community.
Once finalised, the Smart City Plan will be used to inform, plan, design and accelerate the deployment of smart city technology.

The response to the pandemic, with lockdowns and border closures, restricted travel and the impact on office work has generated a surge in planning for digitalisation and the creation of new business models.
