Residents of the City of Parramatta are being encouraged to have their say on what kind of digital initiatives they would like to see in their local area.
The Council has released its first Smart City survey, which has been designed as a benchmarking tool to gauge public interest in new services and to guide the ongoing development of the City of Parramatta’s Digital City and Smart City strategies.
City of Parramatta Administrator Amanda Chadwick said, “Creating a Smart City that improves access and liveability for residents and visitors is at the forefront of our plan to build Australia’s next great city.
“We want to hear from the community about what they would like Council to prioritise as part of our Smart City strategy.
“Among the questions we’re asking is ‘which new tech-services should be prioritised to make Parramatta more liveable?’ and ‘how could technology best enhance your city experience?’
“A Smart City is one that listens to its community and caters to their needs and what they would like to see achieved in their city. I encourage people to complete the survey and play their part in helping Parramatta become a globally recognised Smart City.”
Survey responses will be received for a period of approximately two months and the results will be used to develop the City’s annual Smart City Smart People report to guide future planning and to scope public perception of the City’s capacity to be transformed into a place of major trade and innovation.
