Moreton Bay greening as we grow

Using Open Data from a variety of sources, help us create a sustainable future and protect our local flora and fauna. Ideas and examples could include tracking and monitoring the health of our local Koalas (some great data on this topic!), circular economy solutions, urban heat island effect, through to climate change mitigation strategies. All ideas welcome, and remember to focus on our Moreton Bay region!

Additional Information:

This is one of two Moreton Bay specific challenges put together by a consortium of business, education and government organisations, all passionate about our local region. We will have a group of university students and local business leaders participating on campus at UniSC Moreton Bay alongside local innovators, and we encourage you to join with them in putting a spotlight on our region.

Be sure to see our other challenge: Digitising your drinking water

Judging:

Preference will be given to those providing solutions using at least one local Moreton Bay region (Moreton Bay Regional Council and/or Unity Water) dataset.
