Project notes for the Fremantle Neighbourhood Explorer project of GovHack 2022, held at the Walyalup Civic Centre August 19–21 2022.
Notes
- Add maps to FreoWiki.
- Upload GeoJson for meshblocks.
- Add Lua module of non-spatial meshblock data, to query on streets' pages.
- Create geojson-switcher for maps.
- All streets (will) have Wikidata items, but mesh blocks won't.
- Pedestrian distances/times.
- Fremantle data doesn't seem to be available for download. We did find some ways to query it, but it's not clear which datasets are actually exportable.
Data processing
ABS data
- Downloaded for all Meshblocks for City of Fremantle using TableBuilder Pro. 2016 data because 2021 not yet available in TableBuilder.
- Population by age bins (PoUR people counts)
- Children, lone people or group houses (PoUR people counts)
- Data downloaded as CSV, cleaned up, joined to Meshblock shapefile.
OSM roads and ABS Meshblocks
- Extract all highways using QuickOSM QGIS plugin. Then filter for only named roads.
- Buffer of 20m onto named roads. Then get Meshblock IDs using Join by Location tool.
- Export the many-to-many table or road names-meshblocks to csv.
- Use Mr Data Converter to convert CSV
