Fairfield, NSW Food Hub Partnership assists isolated residents during the 2021 COVID-19 lockdown

Fairfield reassigned staff from its Early Education and Care (ECEC) team for meal preparation. Nine council kitchens produced up to 1,000 meals each day with consideration for specific cultural and dietary needs. Project partners like The Park Networks Inc. and CORE Community Services assisted the council with meal deliveries. The Food Hub Partnership focused on disadvantaged and isolated households disproportionately impacted by the months-long lockdown.

Verified Projects

Wollondilly, NSW and fellow Western Parkland members pursue cross-council Sensor Network project

Wollondilly led the eight-council group on the multi-year development of a shared IoT network. The Sensor Network publishes real-time data on air quality, pedestrian flows, sports ground conditions, and water quality on public dashboards. The councils worked with Sydney Water on incorporating the utility's IoT devices for a fuller picture of local conditions. Long-term applications of network data range from reducing urban heat islands to the conservation of local waterways.
