Hunting Dataset Development Project Wins Award

Our recent work on the SHAP Hunting Area Dataset Development project, in conjunction with the Victorian Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning has been recognised at the APSEA Awards dinner in Melbourne

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 Housing Stock

The Housing Development Data (HDD) project was concerned with the development of datasets that document housing development across 32 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the Melbourne Metropolitan area.

Case Study: Coastal Climate Change Impact Assessment

In partnership with DELWP, we undertook an assessment of the likely impacts of anticipated climate change on the Victorian coastline to inform the prioritisation of the Victorian Coastal Monitoring Program.

Can machine-learning be used to identify occupied ground surface car spaces?

The School of Global, Urban and Social Studies (GUSS) within RMIT University recently undertook a pilot project to determine the feasibility of using machine-learning ability to identify occupied ground surface car spaces using aerial photography (NearMap) and satellite imagery from Sentinel-2.

How to Use Vector Tiles

Vector tiles are fast being adopted as the preferred option in viewing and transferring geographic data in desktop GIS and web mapping applications.

Coastal Climate Change Impact Assessment

Integrating and analysing geographic and environmental data for the entire Victorian coastline to address some of Victoria’s most pressing environmental, economic and resource issues.

Raster and Vector Data in GIS

When we come to depict any spatial data in GIS, from physical assets and locations to real-world events and trends, there are two differing systems to display data; Raster and Vector representations. Both of these methods present data in their own format, with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Understanding ABS Geographies

The first data from the 2016 Census has just been released so it’s important to take time to understand the different geographies used by Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and what data is being released for each of them.
