Selecting locations for government services requires an understanding of the impact of a variety of factors such as demography, existing services and public needs. Insight GIS has a high level of experience in this area, having assisted in bus route planning, health facility management and identifying school populations.

If you are in local or state government, you can quickly and easily access information about constituents or ratepayers by integrating your property database (e.g. rating system) with a mapping interface. Insight GIS software and services allow you to view information about development applications, land use to proximity to services and infrastructure. This enables you to quickly identify issues, such as who is affected by a particular development and how to best manage the situation.

Our GIS Consultancy and Training services enable these agencies to maximise their use of the software for the benefit of the community, for example pre-empting bushfires, crime prevention and greater access to health services.
