Case Study: Climate Change and Extreme Weather – Using Spatial Data for Impact & Consequence Case Studies

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the Barwon Regional Partnership Councils engaged Spatial Vision to help build their capacity in the application of spatial technologies to better plan for and understand the consequences of anticipated climate change and associated extreme weather events for their communities.

Ep 2: Making a Commitment

It’s hard to ignore the devastation the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to lives and livelihoods around the world.

With over 1.2 billion daily visits to the John Hopkins COVID-19 dashboard, the world is desperately seeking answers. Where are the cases concentrated? How many deaths?

Understandably, there are many concerns, yet underneath it all, one question remains:

When will it end? Or rather, how will we get out this?

Ep 1: Think Global, Act Local

Increasingly employees and leaders of organisations, including commercial businesses are asking:

How do we make a positive difference to our world?

The United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a challenge and framework for moving towards a more equitable and sustainable world for all to share now and in the future.

Spatial Vision Digital Twin Capability Partnership with FrontierSI

We are committed to helping build an ecosystem of integrated Digital Twins to support decision making and service delivery across a range of sectors.

Assessing the Impact of Climate Change with the City of Port Phillip

Drawing on the latest climate science and downscaled modelling available through the CSIRO, Spatial Vision conducted a first-pass asset vulnerability assessment for CoPP to assist in better understanding the likely impacts of anticipated climate change to council assets. The impact and vulnerability assessment generated an impact rating based on assessed asset sensitivity to different climate change exposure scenarios.

Case Study: Cooling the City Pilot Project

The Urban Sustainability brand within the City of Melbourne required a pilot project to analyse and map the thermal comfort for pedestrian routes.

Cooling the City Visualisation

With the frequency of extreme heat events increasing in urban areas, heat stress is becoming a major health concern for pedestrians as they navigate their way across the urban landscape.

Shadeways – Thermal Comfort Model

Shadeways is a new program that takes into account weather conditions, time of day and tree canopy to find the most optimal route for thermal comfort unlike current navigation apps like Google Maps.

Monitoring the Metropolitan Development Boom

The area around the Box Hill Railway station has been a major development hub since the early 2000s. While most residents and visitors to the area cannot but help notice that there is a construction boom, data from DELWP’s Housing Development Data project helps to put this in context.
