Australian Smart Communities Association Vision

Strategic Plan 2022-2026

The Australian Smart Communities Association is a member-based industry association, supporting governments to explore, adopt and deliver high-value smart tech, innovation, and data projects.

Our Strategic Plan has a vision to strategically employ smart technology and innovation to improve local and national liveability, prosperity, and sustainability.

The core focus of the Plan is to create an environment that encourages, advocates, and empowers governments, businesses and communities to take action and be testing and trialling new technologies as development continues to speed ahead.

Communities right across Australia are engaged with smart technology. They are deploying digital technology, analysing data, and delivering smarter services to meet new and emerging community needs.

Every community has a unique identity and capability set that will enable them to leverage, where applicable, the opportunities provided by the digital revolution.

The Australian Smart Communities Association (ASCA) has a member-based mandate to boldly drive government towards fast-tracking the adoption and delivery of projects that define smart cities and smart communities.

By working with all levels of government, industry partners, smart tech experts, and researchers we will share learnings, enhance collaboration, and coordinate responses to the challenges and opportunities across our communities.
