After receiving $40 million funding through the NSW Digital Restart Fund the Spatial Digital Twin will soon be able offer a 4D model to all residents.
Victor Dominello (Minister of Digital and Customer Service), said that technology was an evolutionary leap in shaping communities and improving productivity. It allows customers, developers, planners, and planners to see into the future.
Mr Dominello explained that digital architecture allows one to visualize a project digitally, before it is physically built.
Spatial Digital Twin received 18,000,000 requests in the past 12 months to access 3D datasets.
“We are creating a digitally advanced nation that can reap the benefits of all of the productivity and job creation that technology offers.”
Spatial Digital Twin is a collection data sources from all levels of government. It includes planning and natural resources, as well as spatial data. Spatial Digital Twin also integrates sensor feeds to give planners, decision makers, and designers insight across all industries and government.
The twin hosts currently have a virtual representation of eight high-growth regions: Blue Mountains and Camden; Fairfield; Hawkesbury, Liverpool; Penrith; Wollondilly.
In the next 2 years, the system will be expanded to metropolitan Sydney as well as the entire state.
Mr Dominello stated the NSW Government has made it easier to share and obtain planning information through increasing access to the Spatial Data Twin via smartphones, tablets, and computers.
This was done in collaboration and Data61, CSIRO’s digital and data research group.
Laurence Troy is a Sydney University lecturer about urbanism. He believes that such tools can help people understand how developments might impact their neighborhood or community.
He also cautioned against other concerns.
Dr Troy stated, “One of our greatest concerns and anxieties is the actual result for the buildings. And making sure they are of high quality.”
“And you will be able to see what you are getting into when moving into a new apartment.
“That there aren’t going be major defective problems, and that’s a very live issue at this moment for NSW.”
When asked if there would be more delays or objections to applications for development, Mr. Dominello answered that information is power and that technology would make planning more efficient, quicker, and more accurate.
He explained that the digital twin would help with decisions such as where to put a crane. It could also help moms and dads plan their suburban renovations.
Spatial Digital Twin is part the Live.NSW program which will open up new doors for residents to access data.
In the early part of next year, a $40 million investment will enable Live.NSW to create a new customer platform. It will allow users to search for information based on their interests and specific needs.
It will allow you to find out information about schools in your area and about hospitals that are being built.
“Now, no place in the State you’re located, Live.NSW ensures that the community can view infrastructure before it’s constructed, and ensures that new projects remain their heart,” Mr Dominello explained.
The Digital Restart Fund will invest $2.1Billion over four-years in digital transformation projects.
