Brian Beswick, CIO - Sunshine Coast Regional Council

1. BRIAN BESWICK (CIO)
The Sunshine Coast
(Council),
Are you ready for
the future?

2. ….and just an hour or so up the road

4. On Monday, you go shopping.
Before driving into Maroochydore, you check on
parking availability, live on the app
The app is also great for recommending
upcoming events in your area,
or as your move around the coast

5. SunCentral
3D modelling during the
build, and for approvals,
linked to our regional 3D
map, and informed by
drone Lidar capture.

6. Walking into the shopping centre, your arrival is detected
by biometrics.
A billboard shows how
you’d look in a shirt on
sale near by.
Another reminds you
you’ve earned a free
coffee.

7. The smart parking knows you’ve spent
enough money in the precinct today, so
your parking is free

8. On Tuesday, you catch the bus into town.
The smart glass highlights tourist attractions and
shows arrivals and departures at the airport, where
this bus is headed.
As you approach your destination your phone
vibrates to remind you to hop off.

9. A returning family for holiday, the
beacon at arrival welcomes them back,
suggests a discounted coffee while
waiting for the bus. As they leave they
are messaged about latest shows in the
new SCECEC.

10. Thursday night is sports training. Arriving at the club your phone connects with a
beacon. Details for Saturday’s game time and location are displayed in the club’s app.
Apparently it’s sausage sizzle week too.
The field is looking nice and green. New in-ground sensors measure
moisture levels, ensuring sprinklers come on when it’s dry and not when
it’s been raining. The sprinklers also receive weather information and
don’t water when rain is predicted.

11. As you drive past the hospital, your phone alerts you
to on-coming ambulance and suggests an alternate
route.

12. Friday morning, you stop off to discuss with the developer his latest
DA…and you both walk around his design in virtual reality on site.

13. The even is also broadcast live to
some community halls in Kenilworth
and other places
On Friday night you attend an event, a
Q&A panel with some visiting
designers.
Smart Wi-Fi in the venue gives you an
interactive menu, including the ability
to respond to polls during the
discussion, and post comments and
questions to the screen.

14. As you walk to your car
afterwards, the streets
are well lit.
The street lights have sensed
movement from the crowds and
adjusted to full illumination.

15. The power of course coming from our very
own solar farm. Smart metres allowing for
even more efficiency.

16. The augmented reality view overlays statistics
for the players you are looking at, along with
social media streams. You tap a button and
speak to tweet support for your team.
ENWRIGHT, Corey #23
17 kicks
1 goal
85% game time
6.8 km run
Attending the game at Sunshine Coast Stadium
on Sunday, you enjoy your new smart glasses.

17. Our app is also great for telling you when
the light rail leaves for your apartment at
Alexander Headlands

18. Are we ready for the future?

19. What future do you see?
