Best use of data to improve Victorian local government services (or access to services)
Victoria has 79 local councils, which receive around $6.1 billion dollars each year to provide more than 100 different services to the communities they represent, including [from the MAV website]:
- environment services such as greenhouse gas mitigation, and natural resource and coastal management
- health services such as public health and food regulations
- emergency management services such as response and recovery
- transport and infrastructure services such as roads, footpaths and cycle paths
- planning and building services such as land use planning, economic development and environmental conservation
- social and community services such as disability support, early childhood services, housing and public libraries.
Your eligible hacks could be anything from an app that helps people find and engage with social and community services to a planning tool that helps identify where the next bike path should be built. It could be a better way of calling and prioritising emergency services work or an easier way of understanding planning codes.
