Parklands Foundation

Background
Located in the Sydney Olympic Park, the Parklands Foundation is committed to enhancing the Parklands at Sydney Olympic Park for the community to treasure as a place of enjoyment, learning, discovery, recreation, tranquility and wellbeing.

The Parklands Foundation is a “not for profit” partner of the Sydney Olympic Park Authority and the Parklands Foundation commenced its operations in March 2006. The Parklands Foundation was established to help add value to the future of Sydney Olympic Park by helping to attract community support through programs.

GIS was historically used in Sydney Olympic Park by the Parklands Foundation partner, Sydney Olympic Park Authority during the lead up to and post the Sydney 2000 Olympics for the remediation and construction of the Parklands. Today, GIS is now the under the management of the Parklands Foundation.

Situation
The Parklands Foundation needed to develop a clear way forward with the GIS that contributed to those goals of the new organisation and not necessarily those GIS uses of the past.

gViz was engaged to develop a GIS Strategy for the Parklands Foundation. The GIS Strategy provided a comprehensive review of the corporate structure of the Parklands, its vision for the future and those GIS applications, information products and system architecture needed to assist in delivering the corporate vision. The GIS Strategy included a Delivery Plan and as part of the commitment of gViz as demonstrated by our core value of application of GIS technology in Government, a series of Post GIS Strategy workshops have been scheduled to ensure the successful adoption and implementation of the GIS Strategy.

Vision
A vision for the GIS was only developed after an extensive review of corporate information and GIS stakeholder engagements. This included complete access to corporate information and GIS Strategy workshops involving all levels of Executive Management, through to Business Unit Managers and GIS end users.

Solution
gViz provided a comprehensive GIS Strategy and supporting documentation, which can now be used to provide a detailed 'delivery plan' for re-aligning the GIS to the newly established corporate directives of the Parklands Foundation.
