WHAT IS A SMART COMMUNITY? Smart communities use information communication technologies and data to be more efficient. They enjoy cost and energy savings, improved service delivery, better quality of life and a reduced environmental footprint.

Smart communities supporters advocate for the integration of technology and data infrastructure, promote digital technologies to increase the capability of existing infrastructure and services, and champion citizen involvement and citizen-focused service delivery.

A “community” is deliberately broadly defined as a town, shire, local government area, collection of towns or shires, city, residential estate, business / enterprise / technology park or a development area. Smart communities are defined by their:

• Smart infrastructure - anything “material” that aids faster, more reliable connectivity. It includes fixed line, mobile, wireless / WiFi and data centre services, as well as the tools required to plan and implement enhanced digital infrastructure.

• Smart capacity - is raising the level of digital skills of the people in the community so that they can boost creativity, knowledge sharing and experimentation.

• Smart innovation - is driving the digital economy with new digital applications, services, community enterprise, job creation and economic growth.

The Australian Smart Communities Association (ASCA) is the not-for-profit peak body representing people and organisations spearheading moves to make our communities more liveable, more sustainable and more technologically empowered.

Its members and partners include governments, businesses, universities and passionate individuals. ASCA recognises the importance of putting people first – and viewing things from a local perspective while also drawing on international experience.

The smart use of technology in city/community management, energy, water, health and transport, along with high-speed broadband, could add more than 70,000 jobs to the Australian economy and bring 1.5 percent growth to our Gross Domestic Product within five years.

ASCA wants all Australian communities to have the infrastructure and capacity, and to demonstrate the innovation, to forge thriving digitally-enabled economies.

We need collaboration between all levels of government and a bipartisan national strategy. ASCA is committed to playing a major role in achieving this.

INTRODUCTION

ascaconference.org.au | 3

The ASCA Australian Smart Communities Conference is the ultimate event for people and organisations spearheading moves to make our communities more liveable, more sustainable and more technologically empowered.

In 2018, delegates explored how to:

• place people first through user-oriented experience• adjust services to meet needs and benefit the planet• benefit through the delivery of more tailored community services, operational

savings and informed capital works programs• build communitywide partnerships to drive new investment and employment

in the digital economy.

By using smart solutions, smart communities become more efficient, increase the capability of existing infrastructure and services, and improve the quality of life for their citizens.

The ASCA Australian Smart Communities Conference provides the platform to showcase these smart solutions, celebrate the successes of our smart communities and share stories with our members and the broader community.

International and national speakers also provided key insights to guide delegates on what government and communities need to do to:

• Bring about transformational change to the way communities are managed.• Embrace the right technologies to build robust, smart economies.• Focus attention on enhancing skills to take greatest advantage of digital

connectivity.• Promote innovation and creativity to everyone’s benefit.
