In almost every realm of planning, accessibility is an ever-present consideration. Its utility and purpose extends beyond convenience, though, because accessibility has a far-reaching impact on how cities and towns function. So, let's take a closer look at how this fundamental principle helps guide equitable and sustainable cities: #sustainablecities #cityplanning #accessibility #equity

What makes a good park? How do you measure visitation? How do you prioritise and justify investments into parks and open space assets? This year's Parks and Leisure Australia National Conference has touched on some fascinating topics, and we've loved being a part of it. We've had the opportunity to check in with the parks and open space community, chat about Planwisely and learn from some of Australia's most prominent industry voices. Shoutouts to: Nadine Wooldridge and her presentation on Banyule City Council's approach to prioritising and filling open space gaps using data analytics to find evidence-based insights. Also, Hannah Jane at Kingston City Council and her talk on using data to challenge traditional thinking on providing play and active recreation opportunities within their council area. Thanks to everyone who's come and chatted to us so far, we've enjoyed every minute. #PLA2024 #parksandleisure #parksandrec #dataanalytics #spatial #locationintelligence

Designing responsive, efficient and user-centric public transport networks is a complex balancing act. New spatial datasets, however, can be used to optimise public transport network planning. Here’s how: #publictransport #transportplanning #geospatialanalysis #gis #PTplanning

Change is occurring within society with almost unprecedented rapidity and impact. Global events like the climate crisis, economic pressures and the COVID-19 pandemic have, in a matter of years, changed how we live and how we move. With all these changes happening around us, how can we effectively measure the population's movement patterns and plan for the future? Tomorrow at the Planning Institute of Australia Queensland State Conference, Nick Veitch will be discussing how we can see the effects of transformative changes in the past, make accommodations for those changes in how we plan and adjust to future disruptions with greater ease using People Movement Data. We're excited to discuss such a relevant topic with Queensland's planning community, as well as engage in similar conversations about how we can revolutionise the way we shape the world around us! #PIAQLDConf24 #planningaustralia #spatialdata #spatialanalysis #locationintelligence #peoplemovementdata

As planners, how do you honour the past while building for the future? The dynamic tension between reflecting on, realigning and revolutionising how things are done is an ever-changing balancing act that sounds simple but is always a challenge. This year's Planning Institute of Australia Queensland State Conference, which starts today, is tackling how these factors can come together to shape the future against the stunning backdrop of K'gari (Fraser Island), the world's largest sand island. Our own Nick Veitch will be at the conference discussing the topic of 'Measuring transformative change using People Movement Data', which will dive into the power of mobile phone mobility data for analysing change over time. We can't wait to hear from all the bright minds at this year's conference! #PIAQLDconf24 #planning #peoplemovementdata #spatialanalysis #urbanplanning

To properly meet their community's needs, council planners need a holistic and evidence-based understanding of how people move and behave. To meet these needs, councils can leverage numerous geospatial datasets and tools of analysis to uncover location intelligence, which can have a telling impact on how communities are shaped and maintained. Here's how: #localcouncil #locationintelligence #gis #spatialanalysis #geospatial

Building a strong base of evidence to support parks and open space planning can sometimes be a struggle, but it doesn't have to be. Find out you can leverage mobility data to analyse and demonstrate real the value or potential of parks, recreation and open spaces:

Active transport planning has traditionally been on the back foot 👣 when compared to the planning of roads and highways for private, public and commercial vehicles. Simply put, there's just always been more data available on road travel and more infrastructure in place for collecting that data; however, this gap is closing. Want to find out how? Check out our latest post about the 5 ways that data will unlock the future of active transport planning: #activetransport #sustainability #mobilitydata #transportplanning #smartcities #geospatial #gis

Do you know who's visiting your tourist destination? This is usually a challenging and/or expensive question to answer, but thanks to new spatial tools and datasets, it's now possible to assess visitation to all kinds of places (even the beach) with greater confidence and accuracy. Using Planwisely on the web, you can analyse visitation to a place, see if that's changed over time and supercharge your decision-making for: 🌎Tourism strategies 📊 Visitation reports 💸 Economic development strategies 🗺 Destination plans 📈 Visitation strategies Learn more at our website and see how Planwisely can help you find new spatial insights for your next project! #tourism #australia #spatialanalysis #geospatial #gis
