Data Story
Our project aims to make the front page of government services contact page to consist of 5 options. The first 3 options will consist of contact with relevant government agents either locally or, if via phone/internet nationally, with their wait times listed next to the option to encourage use of the least congested option, whilst the last 2 options will be a self service system utilising internet and SMS with no wait time and helpful step by step instructions. The first 3 options will operate on an appointments only system, inform users of necessary documentation, and provide a time estimate for their chosen process.
We utilise;
-Existing government centre locations and public transport data to provide users with routes and transit times to their closest designated government centre.
-Historical and up to date data of centre wait times to provide users with an estimated wait time.
-Up to date weather data to inform users of weather issues associated with their chosen service.
-Queensland traffic data is used to provide a transit time for public and private vehicles to assist in arriving at a government service centre in time for their appointment.
-Bus stop locations are used to assist in public transport transit to the government centre.
