The redeveloped technology platform includes:
- a multi-tenanted, cloud-based database
- a mobile digital data collection technology
- user friendly interactive reporting dashboards.
The project was funded by an Australian Government Smart Cities and Suburbs Grant with matching co-contributions from the City of Melbourne and Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP) councils.
CLUE is used to support and deliver better outcomes for a number of activities including:
- economic development
- stakeholder engagement
- land use and infrastructure planning, for example structure plans
- evaluating policy outcomes, for example late night business growth; and
- development of advanced analytics models to understand city functions for example estimating commercial waste generation or freight transport demand.
