Case Studies
Inspect has been used for several years by local government authorities of varying sizes to undertake a range of inspection, monitoring and auditing activities.
Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire Shire of Dardanup
Firebreak Inspections
Each firebreak season 1-2 Emergency Services and/or Ranger Services staff at the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale undertake inspections of over 12,000 properties within the Shire. Non compliant properties may be subject to a further two rounds of inspections. Prior to using inspect the Shire did not have enough resources to complete the first round of inspections. Inspect enables 1 person to complete all three rounds well before the end of the four month firebreak season.
Outcomes:
Time saved processing 100 inspections = 1 week
Initial outlay repaid within 1 firebreak season though saved processing times and legal costs saved
Bushfire Risk Mitigation
In 2018 the Shire began using Inspect to undertake initial Bushfire Risk Mitigation Audits of all the Shire’s 178 dedicated bush reserves. The Shire worked with Zoodata to develop the Bushfire Risk Mitigation Audit template, which enables the Auditor to record current conditions, areas of concern, and take location recorded photographic evidence to enable contractors to undertake required rectification works. Regular audits will be undertake to monitor each reserve.
