Sydney, NSW partners with Western Sydney University on microclimate mapping project

Two hundred sensors were placed throughout Sydney's eastern neighborhoods for the three-month project. All sensors gather air temperature data at 10-minute intervals with a smaller cohort of sensors collecting humidity data. Researchers identified diverse locations for sensor placement ranging from heavily traveled roads to residential streets with dense tree canopies. Sydney will use microclimate maps for targeted interventions on the path to its 2035 net-zero goal.

Sydney, NSW simplifies risk management and compliance by developing a cloud-based tool

City departments previously used spreadsheets and emailed reports to track risk management tasks. The new system provides a centralized resource for investigations, insurance claims, and risk assessments. An Executive Risk Report shows the status of ongoing actions, the effectiveness of controls, and residual risk levels. The platform offers department-level views and easy-to-use risk registers. Assigned coordinators can customize reports for specific departmental or project needs.

Sydney, NSW collaborates with community groups and Seabin on a marine waste collection project

The Seabin V5 is a floating skimmer that can collect up to 20 kilograms of waste at a time. Council-supported volunteers gathered waste data from 16 units in Sydney Harbour from Jones Bay to Manly.

Sydney, NSW advances first local standards for net zero energy development in Australia

Council leaders consulted with the local business community to determine challenges for a net-zero energy policy. The proposal heading to public review requires new commercial developments and renovations to achieve net-zero consumption. Businesses can use on-site and off-site renewable energy sources to reach this standard. Matching 100% of building consumption with sustainable energy starting in 2023 would lead to an estimated $1.3 billion in savings over the next 17 years.
