The NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN), in collaboration with its partners Western Sydney University, Celestino Sydney Science Park and CSIRO host this forum exploring the role of smart sensing in developing greenfield sites in NSW.
This day-long event will consist of a leaders panel and expert panel discussions, followed by co-design workshops to explore new partnering and opportunities for smart sensing in Western Sydney. Although particular focus will be given to the Western Sydney Aerotropolis we expect outcomes to be applicable to new developments throughout NSW.
The forum will focus on four thematic areas:
#1 – Planning – How can sensing and data support meeting regulatory/planning controls/requirements and help developers achieve better outcomes for greenfield developments in Western Sydney?
#2 – Building and Construction - What are the opportunities for smart sensing to improve how new developments and infrastructure are designed and constructed?
#3 - Service Delivery - How can smart sensing improve efficiency and effectiveness of the infrastructure and services, compliance and ongoing local government service delivery?
#4 - People and the Environment – How can smart sensing be incorporated into greenfield developments to inform policy and practices relating to liveability, sustainability and resilient outcomes in the face of a changing environment?
The outcomes expected from the day will be several project concepts that will be progressed after the event.
