Smart solutions with Tweed mapping
21 October 2016
Easy access info for residents, businesses and community groups
Tweed environmental, planning and property information is now available at your fingertips with the re-launch of Council’s smart phone and tablet-friendly mapping applications.
The new cloud-based web mapping tools replace Council’s six-year-old Tweed Maps service and will provide easy to use, access 24 hours a day from a phone, tablet or computer.
Improvements have been made to the mapping websites to provide easy access to property information, planning details, flood zones and community services and facilities.
“These interactive mapping tools are really user-friendly and provide practical information for businesses and the community to access quickly and easily,” Council’s Manager Information Technology, Ken Holdsworth, said.
“At present, our customer contact centre fields a significant number of these enquiries by phone, this online service will help residents and businesses access Council resources 24 hours a day.
“This new section of the Council website allows residents, business operators and community groups to view geographic information, find features and points of interest, and print maps.
"Information such as property boundaries and development details, bushfire and flood zones as well as the locations of community parks and amenities, can all be viewed with the click of a button.
“Planning information such as zoning is also easily accessible, with colour-coded mapping allowing users to view zoning status at a glance,” he said.
The three mapping applications are:
- Property Information - property boundaries, imagery and contours, aerial photography.
- Planning - visualise and get information about planning constraints, bushfire prone land, flooding and also link to environmental data.
- Community Services. - public facilities, council parks, schools, community halls and amenities.
