The City faced challenges managing and monitoring the Rosewood Showgrounds due to its remote location and lack of permanent on-site staff. Limited visibility of site operations and infrastructure required manual oversight, reducing operational efficiency. In particular, unauthorised use of caravan park power outlets highlighted the need for a system that could provide remote monitoring, control, and real-time operational information.
Through the Rosewood Showgrounds Pilot the City were seeking to ascertain the ability of smart cities technology to provide operational information to City staff who were located some 20 kms from the Showgrounds. The pilot was also intended to evaluate the efficiencies that the system would provide.
The “smart” features of the system at the Showgrounds are;
The project increased the City’s operational efficiency in a number of ways, with one of particular interest being remote control of power points. There are a small number of caravan bays at the Showgrounds (which does not have staff permanently on site) and hence previously it was possible for travellers to hook into power without booking a site. Through the ARCS system the power points are activated remotely only when a booking exists.
The City implemented a Smart Cities pilot at the Rosewood Showgrounds, deploying an integrated monitoring and control platform that connected key site infrastructure, including lighting, CCTV, power systems, solar generation, water tanks, waste bins, amenities, and weather sensors. The solution provided real-time operational data and remote control capabilities, enabling staff to manage the site more efficiently without requiring regular on-site attendance.
