Working tools on the same data and models as the consulting work. Most run in the browser, and some will also come as applications to download.
Constraint screening and assessment
Draw the site, run the screen, download the written report. SiteCensus queries every live government layer that could reach your site in one run and writes the assessment, with the reasoning and the full record behind it.
Queensland and New South Wales are live, with more states to follow. No install and no GIS licence. Free for seven days, no card needed.
For environmental, planning and engineering teams who screen sites before design.
Questions asked of the public data
Drop one map layer on another and see how they relate, read as a table, a map and a chart of the same numbers. In this view, Noosa Shire's wildlife records are cut by vegetation, with each type's share of the records set against its share of the land.
In development. It will be listed here when it opens.
National environmental data discovery
Free and national: Australia's public environmental data, from councils to the Commonwealth, in one catalogue of more than 1,600 layers. Find a dataset, filter it and put it on the map.
In development. It will be listed here when it opens.
Read any map layer
Choose a map layer, narrow it down by a filter, a place or another layer, and read what it holds: how many, where, when, and which features look odd. Every view is linked, so a click in one filters the map and the rest.
In this view, Wildnet records of the spotted-tailed quoll (southern subspecies), across the whole layer. In development. It will be listed here when it opens.
Habitat quality scoring for Queensland offsets
BioCondition field data in, habitat quality scores and the Offset Delivery Plan tables out. It scores by the Queensland Guide v1.3 and the BioCondition Manual against every published Herbarium benchmark.
A separate licence, with one plot scored free on its page.
For ecologists delivering Queensland offsets.
Wildlife corridors in 3D
Least-cost corridors for six species across the Scenic Rim, draped over the terrain in a 3D web map anyone can open.
It came out of the corridor modelling for the Scenic Rim, described on the conservation page.
For councils, landholders and conservation groups deciding where to connect habitat.
Built for the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland
Ranked one-kilometre squares to search, squares with old records to recheck, and the habitat modelling behind each one, for south east Queensland. Every figure on its pages is read from the modelling rasters.
For the society's survey volunteers and coordinators.
Cairns northern beaches to Port Douglas
Days with a higher than usual chance of Irukandji stings, read from the wind forecast, seven days ahead. The rule behind it was tested against the stings recorded on these beaches from 1998 to 2016.
It never says a beach is safe.
For anyone on that coast in the stinger season.
Several more run privately for clients, behind a password: dashboards and decision-support platforms built around one project's data. That work is described under geospatial platforms.
Most projects start with a short call or email to set scope, timing and fit. There's no minimum project size, from a focused model over a few weeks to multi-year platform builds.
