This is where we plan to share all of the latest developments in Open Data with you - both in WA and across Australia. We’ll be posting regular updates on what’s happening with the open data journey in WA and we have a few interesting guest posts planned from early adopters. We also have numerous other activities in the works; events, partnerships and opportunities for engagement that we’ll post about from time-to-time.

The portal is the result of an exciting collaboration between Landgate and the Department of Parks and Wildlife. The Department has been doing excellent work making open data discoverable and very generously lent us one of their own, Florian Mayer, to get our portal up and running. We’ve learnt a lot from Florian and DPAW in a very short amount of time and would like to publicly recognise the great work that is happening over there.
