If you want to make informed planning decisions using quantitative and
qualitative data; then Planwisely is your ultimate planning toolkit.
Veitch Lister Consulting (VLC) will present on some of the ways they

Australia plan for the future. The workshop topics will be
wide-ranging and aims to be interactive and educational.
COME AND LEARN ABOUT THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
• Planwisely cloud-based mapping platform – a live demonstration
of the platform
• Big data for local area planning – exploring the use of mobile
phone location data to support a variety of use cases (inc. case
studies)
• Tools and methods for measuring accessibility – we will talk
about accessibility modelling and how it can uncover areas of poor
access to parks, schools, open space, community centres etc.
• Forecasting for land use and transport planning – understanding
the forecasting tools available and the importance of spatial
resolution in local area planning.
ABOUT PLANWISELY
Planwisely is a new cloud-based mapping platform designed to help
transport planners, urban planners, community services planners,
strategic and statutory planners produce more informed outcomes for
their cities and communities. Developed by VLC, the platform is used

access to hundreds of spatial datasets as well as tools to analyse the
built environment.
The platform includes the following features:
• Interactive web-based mapping platform – no need for any
software or GIS skills
• 3D buildings and visualisations
• Hundreds of pre-loaded spatial datasets
• Catchment Analysis - drop a pin anywhere in the map to access
walk, public transport or car catchments with demographic analysis
• Demographics filtering
• Origin-destination module to understand where people travel
from/to
• Ability to add your own datasets to the map
• Access to Third-party spatial data
• Print maps for reports and presentations
• Satellite imagery
