ASCA National Seminar
The ASCA National Seminar was held at the City of Perth on the 14th September, which Brent attended. The key highlight Brent took away from the event was seeing what the city of Wellington had put in place to turn it into a smart city.
Everything from the lighting to the traffic lights was optimised to be as efficient as possible. Wellington were able to achieve this with hand in glove cooperation between local and federal government in New Zealand.

Smart Cities and Suburbs Program - Perth Round Table
Lastly, Brent attended the Smart Cities and Suburbs Program - Perth Round Table, held at the City of Perth on the 16th September. Special guests, The Right Honourable Lisa Scaffidi Lord Mayor, along with Martin Mileha, from the City of Perth and Graham Pattrick from the Town of Victoria Park spoke at the event. Brent was very pleased at the level of support the Federal government are supporting local government to become Smart Cities.
The event included discussions on challenges for local government and smart solutions as well as the barriers of adopting smart technology into government.
âI loved hearing about the number of ways IoT is being used to create Smart Cities, from tracking Cattle Trucks in the outback through to 3d modelling of cities for planning purposes,â said Brent.
