The Weather Chaser for Local Councils

One weather subscription across the whole council. Whatever your department, stormwater and flood, civil works, council events or local emergency response, you get live radar and the observation record through to gauge-corrected rainfall for the events that matter.

How Local Councils Teams Use It

Stormwater and Flood

Our rainfall estimation service produces gauge-corrected radar rainfall for an event: point time-series, catchment area-averages and per-timestep NetCDF grids for drainage studies and flood reviews, backed by live river heights and rain gauges.

Civil Works and Maintenance

Document rain delays on council projects with dated gauge and radar records, and plan weather-sensitive work with live radar at 5-minute intervals and the latest BoM forecasts.

Council Events

Go/no-go calls for markets, festivals and outdoor works run on the live map and multi-model meteograms for the venue, with a dated record afterwards if an event is called off.

Local Emergency Response

During storms and floods, radar, BoM warnings, river heights and rain gauges sit in one place, and the archive gives a dated record for the post-event review.
