Project: Reimagining Interactions with the Planning System Through Technology – Interactive Map Viewers and Subscription Services
The PlanSA platform is providing access to real time information across the state on planning and development matters, in one centralised location. It has become the source of reliable planning information for all South Australians.
The Interactive Map Viewers and Subscription Services builds on this leading platform by providing easy to navigate spatial and subscription services to people so they can track and access information for development applications and rezoning proposals; enabling people to tailor information to their specific interests.
The platform enables people to be informed, and where consultation is undertaken, have ready access to up-to-date information to participate in the respective consultation process. This is fulfilling a key legislative direction to make planning information more readily available for communities to transact with the planning system.
The judges were impressed with the platform’s navigability and unlimited access and noted it was a huge break-through in planning. It assists with understanding the process and the community being engaged at the right stage.
This map viewer and subscription service builds on the ePlanning platform and continues to raise the bar in making planning accessible to members of the public.
