The Australian Business Atlas can also be used as a mapping and analysis tool for specific customised deployments such as mapping industry clusters and supply chains as well as for mapping and analysis of customer satisfaction and community consultation.


Examples of customised deployments have included:

  • Mapping of trade waste emitting businesses in Tasmania in order to establish environental risk profiles and manage compliance. Specific customised layers were created to map and locate businesses within water catchment areas and sewer network zones. The objective and outcome was better compliance and revenue modelling.
  • Identification and contact programmes with businesses affected by flooding in Queensland. Business locations were identified using flood maps. The objective and outcome was better management of the application of flood relief funding and programmes.
  • Mapping and idenification of appropriate community facilities and services within a local government area in Western Australia. The facilities were mapped and then compared with the demographic distribution of the local population, public transport services and community needs. The objective and outcome was to better support applications for funding for new community infrastructure.
  • The Macquarie Graduate School of Management's Pacific Technology Corridor project where Atlas was used to identify and map technology based businesses in an arc stretching from the University to North Sydney. The solution was used to identify clusters and distributions in technology specific business types.
  • NSW Heath's three-year project to analyse satisfaction with aged care assessment services. Atlas was used to map and analyse levels of satisfaction amongst clients and delivery partners in NSW.
  • Supply chain mapping in the North Adelaide area for the Enterprise Connect program run by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
