Smart City in Action

Council uses smart sensors and counters to help understand how the city is being used which helps with the planning of infrastructure projects, and supports advocacy efforts. This page showcases some of the smart sensors that have been installed in our City and explains what data is being collected, why we collect that data, and where the sensors are located. There is also a live data feed that you can interact with from each sensor.
