The City of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory has launched a Data Insights Platform to provide residents and businesses easier access to a wide range of data from council services.

It aims to support greater transparency and more informed community decision-making in the Australian city.

Interactive dashboards

The platform brings together data and information from public sources, such as the Census, and City of Darwin, making it easier for residents, businesses and visitors to understand how the city functions. 

Data is presented through interactive dashboards, datasets and analytical reports, covering broad topics such as economic development, climate and environment, Live Movement dashboards and other trends shaping life in Darwin.

 “Each dataset provides insights that help us better understand how our city is used and how it is changing”

Rather than publishing raw data, the platform also features Data Stories, which are clear, easy-to-understand explanations that helps inform users what the numbers mean and why they matter. 

The platform includes Live Movement dashboards, allowing users to view 24-hour real-time information such as activity levels at public pools, open spaces, shared path usage as well as cruise ship arrivals.
