Smart City
What is a Smart City
Wyndham is one of the fastest-growing cities in Australia.
With rapid growth comes unique challenges.
Wyndham is experiencing a range of social, economic and environmental opportunities and challenges magnified by its growth. The challenge for our city has never been greater, and we are facing:
- Increasing population;
- Increasing regulatory demands;
- Increasing demands on infrastructure, especially roads and transport systems;
- Growing economic competition;
- Increasing community expectations in areas such as transport, education, health, facilities and local government services;
- Growing expectations for an improved quality of life;
- Changing social, cultural and community needs; and
- Increasing environmental challenges.
We need our city to work better from all these perspectives – for our residents, businesses, and visitors.
Wyndham City is committed to creating and delivering sustainable 'leading edge' smart city solutions that take advantage of new technologies' benefits. We are committed to being innovative in the way we solve problems.

Smart City portfolio
Aaron initiated the Smart City portfolio at the start of the 2016-2020 Council term; it explores how Wyndham can explore and embrace new and emerging technologies to change how we operate.
The portfolio aims to find new ways to become a more connected community and form partnerships to address issues and planning problems across Wyndham by collecting and analysing data. Over the course of this Council term, the portfolio will be working on a range of projects, including developing Wyndham's first-ever Smart City Strategy.
