Suggestions: Be creative , but you may also consider where data gaps exist and propose access to yet to be released data.

1. Use the Barwon Health hospital admissions data to visualise the number of patients coming through each ward and see how this changes with time.

2. Using a variety of datasets, produce a detailed statistical analysis of domestic animal ownership in the municipality. The outcome can be descriptive, but examining statistical correlations between existing demographic and spatial data with registered animal data will be the most valuable product to assist in future planning and targeted campaigns to assist pet owners.

3. Analysis of parking machine data to establish the probability of parking availability per precinct and per time period, and the visual representation of the probabilities in a functional app.

4. An analysis to determine whether there is a statistically significant correlation between residential land size and nuisance type (barking dogs, smoke music noise etc).

5. A Geelong youth APP. The app would provide a comprehensive listing of all Youth activities and things of interest across Geelong. The app could be searched by type of activity/interest, and suburb.

6. An app that allows you to register to be part of a 'community support phone tree' or similar, so that on extreme heat or other weather event days, everyone on the phone tree makes contact with someone else to make sure they're OK. E.g Elderly, At Risk People

7. An app that uses a map to show listed Garage sales in the local area. It can also use the newspaper classified garage sale listings and show them on the map.

8. Use the pet registration information to allow pet owners to send out alerts. 9. An app that shows the real-time wait time at GP clinics and the emergency room across Geelong so that people can make better informed decisions about whereto go for their primary health care needs.

Data suggestions:

• All Geelong datasets, there are over 60

• Barwon Health & TAC
