Project Description

Did you know that the Adelade metropolitan housing market can cost up to 56% more than regional areas (https://www.sa.gov.au)?
Using government provided open datasets in conjunction with some freely available datasets, ‘Chamonix IT Solutions’ have identified the potential for showcasing regional South Australia, which over time will help drive government investment prioritisation for the regions. With a broad target audience not limited to those already looking to migrate, MySALife captures your specific interests and requirements for residency and matches this to regional areas that have similar strengths, growth potential, or an emerging industry to entice you to make the move.
With national datasets available, MySALife can compare the proposed regional location with others to make the location feel familiar. Additional potential exists to tie your interest in with ATO data, allowing MySALife to fine tune your results based on current/past employment industries and income, and overlay your known standing with the regional statistics to help you see if it’s a good fit for you.
Over time, BI reports on usage statistics will show government agencies what areas of interest people are looking for when considering migration, enabling smarter prioritisation of marketing and investment.
