Auckland Council, NZ centralizes staff access to environmental data with the Ruru system
Auckland Council, NZ Ruru Environmental Data System
Complete
Ruru - Conservation Information System gathers 80 datasets from council departments into a single database. Auckland's Bio Information staff finds overlapping or conflicting needs in areas like pest control, native species management, and engagement programs. Automated spatial analytics produce data-rich maps about the council's conservation strategies. The system's permission settings limit contractors to relevant datasets as they work on Bio Information projects.
Project Succeeded
Auckland received a 2021 Spatial Excellence Award for Environment and Sustainability for this project.
