We are thrilled to share a sneak peek of the enhancements that are coming to the Australian Urban Observatory Map, designed to elevate your user experience and provide even deeper insights into the liveability of Australian cities.
Faster Navigation
We’ve made it easier to get the liveability data you need with upgrades to increase the map speed and adding new navigation features.
You can search by address to quickly find a specific location or simply drag and zoom the map to explore different areas.
Neighbourhood Walking Distance
One of the exciting new features is the Walking Distance tool.
This feature utilises the road network to calculate the walkability of a neighbourhood. By selecting a walking time (ranging from 10 to 60 minutes) and centre point on the map, you can visualise the area you can cover on foot within that time frame.
Additionally, you can access data on the population within that walking range, including male and female populations and the average household size.
Redesigned Scorecard
The liveability Scorecard has been redesigned to provide a more intuitive way to understand how an area is performing relative to the rest of the country across the nine key domains of liveability. You can also download easy to interpret PDFs, making them ideal for inclusion in reports and submissions.
Thanks to our Partners
These upgrades are the result of close collaboration with our paid partners. Our partners play a huge part in shaping the AUO portal and a faster, more responsive, and easier to use portal ensures that they can access the data they need to enhance liveability across our cities.
