Councils & Local Government

Better local decisions start with a clearer picture.

Connect people, places and information to help councils plan confidently, manage assets and deliver better outcomes for their communities.

The context

Information that shapes places.

Local government organisations make decisions that shape the places people live, work and connect. From infrastructure and asset management to land use planning, environmental services and community facilities, councils need reliable information to understand local needs and plan for the future.

Eightysevenpins helps councils make better use of spatial technology, connected data and digital solutions. We bring together strategic thinking, technical expertise and practical delivery to turn complex information into insights that support informed decisions.

Where spatial intelligence makes a difference

Across the council.

Asset & Infrastructure Management

Connect spatial information with asset registers and operational systems to support asset visibility, maintenance planning, lifecycle management and infrastructure investment decisions.

Strategic & Land Use Planning

Bring together property, zoning, planning, demographic and environmental information to support land use assessments, growth planning and evidence-based policy decisions.

Roads, Transport & Public Spaces

Use location-based information to support road and pathway planning, parking analysis, public space management and the assessment of local transport needs.

Environment & Sustainability

Integrate spatial and environmental datasets to help councils assess vegetation, urban canopy, waterways, biodiversity, waste services and climate-related risks.

Community Services & Facilities

Understand the geographic distribution of community facilities, services and population needs to help inform service planning, accessibility and future investment.

Rates, Property & Land Information

Connect property and cadastral information with relevant council systems to improve data consistency, support analysis and provide a more integrated view of land and property.

Emergency Management & Resilience

Use location-based insights to support risk assessments, preparedness planning, incident coordination and recovery activities in collaboration with relevant emergency management partners.

Digital Transformation & Data Governance

Improve how spatial and business information is managed, shared and used across council departments, supporting more consistent reporting, collaboration and decision-making.

Connecting council data, systems and services

A more connected information environment.

Council information is often distributed across business applications, GIS platforms, asset management systems, spreadsheets and external data sources. When these systems are disconnected, teams can struggle to establish a consistent view of assets, places, services and community needs. Eightysevenpins helps councils create a more connected information environment through:

Consulting & strategy

Define the problem, establish priorities and identify a practical technology roadmap.

Spatial platforms

Design, implement and improve platforms for managing geographic information and spatial analysis.

Custom data platforms

Establish data foundations that bring spatial and non-spatial information together.

Data pipelines & integration

Connect systems, automate data flows and improve data quality and consistency.

Analytics & decision support

Transform complex datasets into useful insights for planning, reporting and investment decisions.

Managed services

Provide ongoing support and improvement for agreed spatial platforms, data environments and integrations.

Staff augmentation

Add specialist spatial, data, technology and project delivery expertise to existing council teams.

Designed around council priorities

Practical outcomes for communities.

Every council has different communities, operating environments, systems and strategic objectives. Our approach begins with understanding the decision to be made, the information available and the practical constraints facing your organisation.

We work with you to identify the right approach, assess existing capabilities and develop solutions that align with council priorities, governance requirements and available resources.

The focus is on practical outcomes: better information, more connected systems and greater confidence in decisions that affect local communities.

Helping councils move forward with confidence

Clarify the opportunity. Establish a path forward.

Whether you are modernising spatial platforms, improving asset information, integrating business systems or exploring new ways to use location intelligence, Eightysevenpins can help clarify the opportunity and establish a path forward.

A different perspective. A clearer way forward.
