Trying to find ways to improve the health and liveability of your community? This session explores the Australian Urban Observatory (AUO) Digital Planning Platform, helping you understand walkability, access to schools, public transport, and public open spaces across selected cities across Australia and Queensland. Brisbane, Cairns, Gold Coast-Tweed Heads, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Townsville are included in the AUO maps.
