Projects

The Government 2.0 Taskforce funded 17 projects from its Project Fund. These projects were divided into three rounds: the first and second rounds involved the Taskforce seeking proposals on various projects it wished to commission, while the third round was an open call for project ideas.

In addition to the projects listed below, the Taskforce engaged the services of a public relations consultant to assist with promoting the taskforce’s draft report (Project 12) and funded the development of the planningalerts.org.au website by the OpenAustralia Foundation (Project 17), which will provide improved citizen access to local government planning applications (the source code for this website will also be made available for re-use and adaption to other government scenarios under an open source license). The Taskforce also requested quotes for a series of hypotheticals (Project 11), but decided not to proceed with this project due to logistical constraints.

The outputs of each project will be published on this page once they are available. A summary of each project, project briefs where available and copies of the project outputs are provided below:
