  In October 2009 the Victorian Department of Transport will be making available a free, public, interactive analytical and visualisation service that will give exceptional access to data from the Victorian Integrated Survey of Travel and Activity for 2007 (known as VISTA 07). This facility will enable users to analyse key transport themes at a local government area level. It will prove useful to the Department itself, to other state and regional public sector agencies, community organisations, planners, developers and the general public.

  VISTA 07 is a detailed survey of Victorian’s travel patterns conducted between May 2007 and June 2008. It captures the ‘why’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ of personal travel within Victoria, containing information about the journeys people make and related activity information from over 17,000 households and 43,000 participants in Melbourne and key regional centres. The data from VISTA 07 helps the state government, local governments and planners make better infrastructure decisions and has contributed to the Melbourne Transport Plan.

  VISTA 07 and subsequent VISTA surveys are critical to ensuring that transport and land-use planning decisions in Victoria are reflective of the actual travel behaviour of Victorians. The online analytical web site to be made available will allow many more members of the public to participate in informed discussion about Victoria’s transport infrastructure needs. It directly speaks to the Gov 2.0 theme of promoting openness and accountability through greater and more useful access to Public Sector Information (PSI).

  www.yourHealth.gov.au, operated by the Health Reform Taskforce in the Department of Health and Ageing, was developed to provide Australians with a way to contribute their stories, views and ideas regarding improving the Australian health system to the Government.

  The website provides a single web 2.0 platform for online community consultation across three major reports on Health Reform, A Healthier Future For All Australians: the Final Report of the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission; Building a 21st Century Primary Health Care System: A Draft of Australia's First National Primary Health Care Strategy; and Australia: The Healthiest Country by 2020 – National Preventative Health Strategy.

  Without the yourHealth website, there was no easy way to conduct a collective discussion with Australians, building on the three reports to collect community views across all areas of health reform.

  The website is a benchmark in Australian Government consultation. Rather than offering a single engagement approach, yourHealth provides an integrated set of formal and informal consultation tools built on web 2.0 principles. This supports a ladder of community participation from simply reading and reflecting on the recommendations in the reports, sharing links with others, voting in quick polls and blog posts, responding with comments and views or telling their own health story. To encourage participation yourHealth uses online announcement tools including Twitter, RSS and email announcements, as well as cross-linking from other health-related sites.

  The consultation tools have been developed by the Department to be reusable and extensible – a capability that will reduce future administrative burdens and streamline any further stakeholder or community engagements the Government or Department may wish to hold.

  This type of innovative online community consultation capability has not previously existed within the Australia government and currently offers a unique internal capability for the Department.
