“The Smart Beaches project is delivering world class technology to support our world class beaches. We are very excited the project will deliver a standardised and automated reporting tool available to all lifeguard services integrating available and emerging data sources. The Digital Restart Fund has been amazing and is enabling the Office of Local Government to support further development of this technology at scale along the NSW coast. We are excited to support local government coastal water safety this summer and into the future.”
Ally Dench
Executive Director, Office of Local Government.
“The Digital Restart Fund is supporting the Transform Prisoner Rehabilitation through Digital Technology program, which is designed to provide people in custody with increased access to rehabilitation programs and services via digital technology, such as Offender Tablets. The program aims to increase the dosage of rehabilitative treatment and introduce self-service for inmates whilst in custody and the community to assist in reducing recidivism.”
Luke Grant
Deputy Commissioner, Strategy and Policy, Corrective Services NSW.
“Through the Digital Restart Fund’s continued support and investment, the Rural Access Gap program has accelerated digital transformation across more than 1,000 NSW rural and remote public schools. We’ve equipped teachers and students and their learning spaces with tools and technology to support high-quality teaching and learning, and we’ve continued to engage and build relationships with our school communities to create sustainable change.”
Wayne Poole
Program Director, Rural Access Gap.
“The DRF is supporting the development of a new online user interface, where NSW Government and Greater Sydney Councils will be able to view and analyse canopy and other green infrastructure data. This will transform the way stakeholders use canopy data, by providing a central location where users can analyse canopy data at a fine grain scale with information never before provided in a NSW Government canopy dataset.
Through the user interface, users will be able to see canopy growth and loss from the lot scale up to the region scale, in combination with canopy heights, vegetation health, and land surface temperature, plus a range of other environmental information. This information will support NSW Government and Greater Sydney Councils to make more targeted and informed decisions around Greater Sydney’s urban forest.
The user interface will be supported by two canopy data acquisitions in 2024 and 2026, which will continue to strengthen the functionality of the user interface by showing change in canopy over time. The Greener City Branch in the Resilience and Urban Sustainability Division is currently scoping out the user interface, with the goal of delivering a draft for testing by mid-2023.”
