Project Description


The Right to the Night project is aimed at creating safer public spaces for women in the Ballarat CBD. Between February and May this year, The City of Ballarat and partners asked women to contribute their perspectives of safety across the CBD.

During the GovHack weekend, we're investigating the data and enriching it by combining it with other open data sets from local and state goverments. We're hoping to draw some interesting connections and provide further insights into why people feel unsafe and what can be done to improve this.


Data Story


We looked at the perceptions of safety data collected by City of Ballarat and overlayed graffiti, CCTV, parking, trees, bollard lighting and public toilet data.

More than apps and maps: help government decide with data

How can we combine data to help government make their big and small decisions? Government makes decisions every day—with long term consequences such as the location of a school, or on a small scale such as the rostering of helpdesk staff.

Eligibility: Use at least two data sets (at least one from data.gov.au) to help government make a decision that will improve services for people. Any code produced for your entry must be published on github under an open license. If your entry is not software, you will need to show the working behind your use of data along with any calculations and analysis you did. You must indicate which specific government agency (at any level of government) can take action based on your entry.
