The Australian Housing Data Analytics Platform (AHDAP) project aims to develop a unique federated platform for the ingestion and management of digital data on housing and the built environment together with a suite of tools that will allow rapid multi-scale complex modelling and simulation to address the pressing questions regarding housing provision and sustainability across Australia. It will provide housing researchers and planners with a transformative capability to objectively design and evaluate new policy and practice with regards to the future development of Australia’s urban conurbations, assisting in the driving of economic recovery, social inclusion and resilience across Australia’s $7 trillion housing market.
The project will bring together nationally significant and harmonised housing-related datasets that have maximum policy impact with a view to improving overall housing outcomes (including by improving Australia’s housing research evidence base and by better informing policy makers). The project will be delivered over 2.5 years with completion scheduled for mid-2023.
