City of Casey (VIC) - Smart Casey Launchpad

Sourced from City of Casey Website: https://www.casey.vic.gov.au/smart-city

As the pace of change accelerates, City of Casey is striving to become a smart city by integrating innovation and technology to support the growing needs of our community.

In 2020, we engaged the Casey community to understand how we can best apply smart technology and innovation. This includes sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), data platforms and devices to improve efficiency, enhance sustainability and increase the liveability of our region.

From the insights, we developed the Smart Casey Launchpad program to harness these opportunities in a collaborative and innovative way.

Endorsed by Council in December 2020, the Smart Casey Launchpad program outlines our approach to coordinating and inspiring smart city action at a local and regional level. As one of the fastest growing Councils in Australia, smart city thinking and action is critical to building resilience, inclusion and sustainability in the region both now and into the future.
