TOOL: Amenities and Stakeholder Mapping

Successful neighbourhoods provide a diversity of amenities to support the local needs.

Having a wide offering of local amenities provides increased opportunities to attract local people to visit and stay in the neighbourhood.

Gaps in the amenity mix may indicate areas of improvement or further investment, while strengths may show the main reasons people visit the neighbourhood.

What might be some of the social issues in this neighbourhood?

Where does the data come from?

Amenities data is created by pulling together 'points of interest' information from a number of crowd-sourced and open-sourced mapping systems.

While using community-generated data input can lead to 'inconsistencies' in the data - for example, a park coming through with a name different from the name gazetted by the local authority - by utilising community-generated data, this map reflects the neighbourhood as mapped by the local users.

TOOL: Activity Hotspots

Mobile phone movement data is harnessed monthly to plot where people spend time across a neighbourhood. Able to be filtered by time of day or week, this tool provides a sophisticated understanding of local dwell patterns across the country.

Heatmap of where people spend most time in neighbourhood

What questions can I answer?

What locations across the suburb are the most active?

What locations across the suburb are the most exposed?

Does a particular focus site have good exposure?

Where do people spend time during the day, at night, during the week, or on the weekends?

Does the suburb have strong night time activity?
What local assets are driving visitation?

Where does the data come from?

Capturing digital presence data for a 4-week period enables the mapping of activity hotspots - the locations people spend the most time in across the neighbourhood.

To highlight local places people visit and dwell, movement data (such as travelling by vehicle) and residential data (such as time spent at home) have been removed from the data set.

The graphics are scaled to the data capture area, meaning that areas of "high" activity, are high relative to the overall results for that single data boundary.

TOOL: Visitation Mapping

Digital presence data is used to determine the ‘home’ location of visitors to the subject neighbourhood and map the surrounding suburbs that local residents visit when the leave the subject neighbourhood. This analysis is undertaken at a catchment of 25km.

Understanding where visitors to a neighbourhood come from can highlight the attractors to a neighbourhood. Understanding where residents go can highlight amenity gaps allowing you to uncover opportunities to strengthen the catchment area or development.

Where does the data come from?

Digital presence data is used to determine the 'home' location of visitors to the subject neighbourhood and map where visitors originate from at a suburb level.

It is also is used to map the surrounding suburbs that local residents visit when they leave the subject neighbourhood.

This analysis is undertaken at a catchment of 25km.

TOOL: Accessibility

By examining the geography that can be reached within a short walk or short drive of the neighbourhood’s centre, you can understand who the people are who are likely to utilise your neighbourhood.

Understanding the age breakdown of your neighbourhood is critical to inform amenity planning. Neighbourhoods that have a higher proportion of pre-school aged children will utilise open spaces differently to those with a higher proportion of high-school aged children. Or neighbourhoods with a lower proportion of working aged residents compared to those of retirement age may rely differently on local community services.

What questions can I answer?

Who are the people that are likely to utilise the neighbourhood?

What is the age breakdown?

Who can access my neighbourhood within a short walk or short drive?

What can residents easily access on foot?

Where does the data come from?

The walking isochrone maps show how far people walk from a specific destination in a specific time, considering typical walking speeds and geographic conditions, such as available routes and barriers.

The driving isochrone maps show you how far vehicles travel from a specific destination in a specific time, by considering allowable and typical driving speeds and the road network.

These plots are generated from a publicly available base map, which is updated in real-time, meaning real-life changes to the pedestrian and movement network will change the isochrone results.

The residential population within the irregular isochrone plots is calculated using aerial photography to estimate population density. This means the residential population is not assigned to roads or parks, while higher densities of residents are assigned to high-rise buildings.

TOOL: Lifestyle Values

By examining local chatter at a neighbourhood level it is possible to gain insight into how people love to socialise, where they love to spend time, and what activities they love to spend time doing.

The way local people talk about their lives, and what they choose to post online about their experiences is a key indicator of local values.

What questions can I answer?

How do people love to spend their time?

What activities do people value?

How do people socially connect?

What local places do people love?

Where does the data come from?

Tapping into unconventional digital sources such as ratings, reviews and social media posts, our lifestyle data can be tracked across time by plotting to velocity of digital interactions month by month.

About our data

We have pioneered a unique data ingestion and computation method to uncover the unique identity of local neighbourhoods, in real time.

PLACES

Point of interest and amenities data is gathered as geo-located places from mapping platforms

The information gathered from these sources is crowd-sourced and includes details like the place name, location, description, opening hours, and type of place. It also includes ratings and reviews, check-ins and likes.

From this we can understand the amenity mix of a location as well as how important individual places are in the neighbourhood.

BEHAVIOUR

Behavioural data is generated from aggregated, anonymised, mobile phone location data.

Location is one of the most accurate predictors of behaviour and a valuable insight into local life. By utilising mobile phone location data generated by app 'pings', our data system recognises nearly 10,000,000 mobile devices every month.

The results are carefully cleaned, checked and thresholded to ensure representative results across Australia.

VALUES

Values data is gathered from the publicly posted 'chatter' across local neighbourhoods.

The local experiences that people choose to post about online, provides an clear insight into what locals value about their lives.

Publicly posted content is gathered from various sources to mitigate bias, and classified into 80+ lifestyle categories to reveal how people love to spend time, how they socialise, and the places the love to spend time.
