Tasmanian Crash Hotspots
Where do accidents happen a lot? What are the roads like in those areas? Is there a link?
There is a dataset of car crashes all over Tasmania, but it doesn't tell a story. Perhaps if we look at where the crashes are happening in terms of the piece of road that the occur on, we'll be able to identify problem intersections, or stretches of road, and better plan upgrades and mitigation efforts.
After much deliberation, and many blocked turns, our team finally nailed down a plan to develop an air conditioner recommendation application late on Saturday night.

Does anyone really remember how their representatives vote in parliament?
Probably not.
Despite the existence of powerful web-based tools, like TheyVoteForYou and ABC’s Vote Compass, people often don’t know how their representatives are directing their votes.
A mobile augmented reality game using local government datasets to create a simple 'Dungeons and Dragons' hack and slash fest. This is about raising awareness of bins as public assets.
Game Play

Our team has implemented the Tap web and ios interfaces to the Hobart city council data loaded into tap-cms on a Ubuntu 14:04 nectar instance built for GovHack2015, after the competition started , particularly allowing people on the street to find and recognise and understand the art works catalqued by Hobart City Council.
in 2014 we partial completed this hack, The system was subsequently lost in a nectar upgrade. With little to go on we have reserected it, with DEM and metro routes and hopefully some bike tracks.
The issues were the many changes in OTP , java dependancies and configuration issues, the git source had to be modified, mostly in pom.xml as locatios of gtfs-lib had changed.

Who We Are aims to explore the diversity of Australia's population - where we came from, what we do and believe, and where we're headed. Our team decided early on that we wanted to do a project which highlighted some aspect of the community, with some early options being helping to make local charities more visible, make meeting up with other dog owners at the various dog parks easier, and exploring how youth detention rates are changing.
