Title NSW Smart Sensor Network Country/Territory Australia Date 30/06/24 Description Localised air quality monitoring can help local governments create healthier communities. In Australia, poor air quality is a significant cause of health problems and premature death, and many councils lack expertise in local monitoring practice.
The Operational Network of Air Quality Impact Resources (OPENAIR) project looks to answer this challenge. On 16 June, ISF joined industry and government leaders at Western Sydney University to officially launch OPENAIR.
OPENAIR is a $2.4 million air quality monitoring research and development program led by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in collaboration with the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN). The NSSN is a consortium of eight leading universities across NSW and the ACT which UTS forms a part of. ISF’s role within this network is to help translate innovative research in smart sensing into compelling solutions that create value for the economy, environment and society broadly.
The program has received a $1.78 million contribution from NSW Government through the $45 million Smart Places Acceleration Program, which is part of the Digital Restart Fund.
As part of the launch event, ISF participated in a two-day workshop convening project participants from the NSW Government, NSW-based expert consultants, five universities and participating local government councils.Persons Liwan Liyanage, Peter Runcie
