Maintaining the safety and viability of roads is complex, and the critical approach to success comes down to three things: Road Management Plan compliance, maintenance works programs, and the capital program. Learn how the City of Bendigo's critical approach has been transformed

In the wake of the 2022 floods, Ballina Shire Council turned to Konect. This wasn’t just about technology; it was about a community’s resilience, a team’s dedication, and the unexpected power of the right tool at the right time. While the media were reporting at the coal face, a small group from the Ballina Shire Council were already conducting work that would expedite the recovery and alleviate the future risks of similar events. Konect – the only flexible location-based data collection app – was the tool at the forefront of this dynamic and innovative approach, had been with the Shire for barely a few weeks; but it was to prove an invaluable asset.

Paul Nicholson, City of Bendigo’s Coordinator GIS & Asset Information, explains why partnering with Konect – a powerful mobile field management App – has revolutionised council's approach to field management.

Incorporating some of Tasmania’s most spectacular scenery, Kingborough Council is a shining example of how Konect is transforming local government infrastructure management, and improving productivity. Chatting with Matthew Snow, Kingborough Council’s Business Support Officer, you get a clear understanding that Konect has become an invaluable part of day-to-day operations. “Since we first adopted Konect, it has truly improved our productivity, allowing crews to spend more valuable time in the field, picking up issues proactively, rather than relying on the ratepayers to bring things to our attention.”
