South East Queensland Councils Plan Digital Transformation to Enhance Services
Councils in South East Queensland have unveiled a collaborative digital plan aimed at leveraging smart technologies by 2035. The initiative, involving 12 councils, focuses on improving service delivery, digitizing property approval processes, and enhancing transportation networks through intelligent systems. A key component of the plan is the establishment of a regional common data environment (CDE) to facilitate secure data sharing and collaboration among councils, industry, and government stakeholders. This foundational infrastructure is deemed essential for implementing advanced digital and AI tools. The plan also emphasizes the adoption of digital identity systems to streamline interactions and authentication processes across the region. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to prepare for future events, such as the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, by building digital capabilities and supporting local industries.
