Background
Smart cities make use of digital technology to improve collaboration, efficiency, sustainability and economic development. Common smart city projects include the provision of free public Wi-Fi, performance monitoring of community assets and infrastructure, smart parking, street lighting, digital democracy platforms and mobile apps.
In December 2019, the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters engaged consultants, Delos Delta, to develop a Smart City Plan.
Project details
The Smart City Plan will include a framework for the Council to plan, design and accelerate the deployment of smart city technology for the benefit of the community. The Plan will also set out a governance framework for the delivery of smart city technology—the platform to develop future business cases and partnerships.
Development of the Smart City Plan will also be undertaken in consultation with key stakeholders and our community.
An online survey and two in-person community engagement sessions were held in February 2020 to gather ‘up front’ community insights in an effort to ensure that the Council’s Smart City Plan is tailored to meet the needs of our community.
The ‘up front’ community consultation revealed that the highest issues of importance to the community included the provision of smart technology for sustainability, enhanced community engagement and participation and the Council supporting local innovation.
The comments received through the community engagement workshops and on-line survey is used to assist preparation of the draft Smart City Plan which will be focused around eight key themes.
