Smart monitoring and management, Yellagonga Wetlands
In 2017 the City entered a joint smart environmental monitoring project with the City of Wanneroo regarding the shared natural asset, the Yellagonga Wetlands. The project received grant funding from the Australian Government’s Smart Cities and Suburbs Program.
The project achieved a significant milestone on 17 December 2019 and launched a buoy onto Lake Joondalup. The buoy, fitted with a range of sensors, including libellium sensors, are successfully transmitted data through an IoT platform that populates a live dashboard, which community members are welcome to view.
Currently, as part of the proof of concept trial, data is being transmitted every two hours for a range of measures. This may be adjusted over time after initial analysis of the data has been completed.
The objectives of the smart environmental monitoring project include:
