Brisbane Area Suburb Review is a project that allows people to examine and compare different suburbs in the Greater Brisbane area. The previous twenty-one months of new bonds registered with the Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority along with metropolitan analysis from Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network and Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation makes comparing suburbs an engaging and informative experience.

The Liveability Index is a website focused on informing users about the liveability state of every region in Australia, looking at aspects based on economy, demography and education. It allows the general public to see at a glance the status of areas down to the suburb level right across the country. It’s always interesting to find data about areas near you!

A large number of datasets are publicly available in GovHack-2015 website. Several relevant information can be obtained from various attributes of individual dataset. Moreover, it can be easily perceived that each of these datasets can be inter-related to infer various valuable analyses, which can increase the richness of the individual data. The main aim of our project work is to introduce a unique contribution towards the direction of finding relationship among different categories of datasets and creating a bridge between those (datasets).

Project Description
Parking is something that has infuriated us all at one time or another. There just never seem to be any free spots when you want them. But what if you knew the likelihood of finding a parking spot anywhere in the CBD for the exact time you wanted to park? What if you were given turn-by-turn directions for a route that maximised your chances of finding a park? We think there'd be less traffic, less frustration, and the world would be a better place.
Many government open-data provides geo-located info useful for disaster relief: real time fire hazard, tide and others. We see that these data can be integrated with mobile phones and other personal devices which has been proven to save lifes.
Project Naya integrate these two source of information to make disater relief efforts.

why did you choose to build it, what does it do, who is it for, et cetera. Also talk about the data you've reused, and how you've reused it. How does the project satisfy the prize categories you have selected?
The Sunshine Coast is a great place to have a dog. The region is known for its wonderful beaches, parks, and other outdoor recreational activities. Unfortunately, not all of these activities are welcoming to our four-legged friends. Indeed, dog owners face stiff fines if they're not abiding by local laws and regulations. "Dogs Unleashed" aims to provide local, and visiting dog owners with the resources they need to make the most of their time on the Sunshine Coast with the fine, furry friends.

There is so much information available today. Born digital documents can be searched and useful information can be found using cutting edge software technology which outsripts conventional reading methods.
We are experiencing information overload and filter failure.
This project aims to index openly available information and make it available through the open source Google Books software (Google ngram viewer). This is an interesting and easy to use visual interface which allows users to search keywords and search terms to discover information.
Anemu is a mobile app for helping people of all ages identify Australian wildlife in an easy and visual way. Users can use a photo of an animal they've taken with their phone and compare it to photos of other Animals, browsing based on how similar they think it looks. Once they've identified the animal, they can look up scientific information about the animal, see the last reported location it was seen and even view a list of articles related to that animal.
