Industry
Local Government

Challenge
Individual heat, canopy and demographic datasets show different parts of the urban climate challenge. Decision-makers also need a consistent way to compare those layers across places and reporting periods.

Results
A pilot across seven metropolitan Adelaide local government areas combined satellite-derived surface-temperature data, tree-canopy classification and vulnerability indicators into a repeatable framework for local comparison and adaptation planning.

How Geoneon Helped Greater Hobart Monitor Bushfire Exposure Across 94,000+ Buildings

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:32:14 GMT

Industry
Emergency Management

Challenge
Local governments needed consistent spatial evidence to understand where buildings and communities were more exposed to bushfire and where preparedness and mitigation warranted greater attention.

Results
More than 94,000 buildings across 132 Greater Hobart suburbs assessed, with 4,225 buildings — 4.5% — classified from Moderately High to Extremely High bushfire exposure in the 2024 assessment.

How Geoneon Helped Prioritise Flood Early-Warning Planning Across Nine Provinces in Lao PDR

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:31:21 GMT

Industry
International Development

Challenge
Early warning systems need more than flood hazard maps. Decision-makers also need to understand where buildings, villages, and vulnerable communities are most exposed so preparedness efforts can be prioritised.

Results
Geoneon developed a screening-level flood susceptibility, exposure, vulnerability and risk assessment across nine provinces of Lao PDR. The assessment analysed more than 2.75 million buildings, identifying 310,403 buildings (11.3%) in moderate-to-extreme flood exposure categories, corresponding to more than 0.5 m of modelled flooding, and 30 villages where at least 90% of buildings fell within these categories.

Tracking Vegetation Change Across the Pacific Over Time

Industry
International Development

Challenge
Pacific Island countries need consistent and repeatable vegetation data across large and remote regions, but traditional approaches such as LiDAR and field campaigns are difficult to scale and maintain over time.

Results
Geoneon developed a quarterly vegetation height dataset at 10 m resolution using Sentinel-2 imagery, covering multiple Pacific Island countries from 2020 to 2025. The dataset enables vegetation structure mapping and ongoing monitoring of clearing, degradation, and regrowth across the region.

Mapping wildfire exposure along critical freight routes in Dundas

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:29:35 GMT

Industry
Infrastructure & Utilities

Challenge
The Shire of Dundas needed clearer evidence of where important freight routes and supply-chain infrastructure intersected with elevated wildfire conditions.

Results
Spatial analysis identified corridor sections exposed to elevated modelled wildfire conditions, providing an evidence base for preparedness, access review and prioritisation.

Mapping Tree Canopy to Support Urban Greening Decisions in Hobart

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:28:37 GMT

Industry
Local Government

Challenge
The City of Hobart needed a consistent, city-wide baseline to understand where tree canopy was distributed, how it changed between 2017 and 2022, and where urban greening efforts should be prioritised.

Results
Geoneon’s satellite-based canopy mapping supported the City of Hobart’s State of the Canopy report with comparable 2017 and 2022 evidence. The City reported a two per cent loss of canopy on private land, while public-land canopy remained broadly stable, and used suburb and planning-zone breakdowns to guide targeted urban greening.

How Geoneon Helped Launceston Build the Evidence Base for Its Urban Greening Strategy

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:27:54 GMT

Industry
Local Government

Challenge
The City of Launceston needed a clearer way to respond to rising heatwave risk and the urban heat island effect, especially where lower canopy cover overlapped with more vulnerable populations.

Results
Geoneon established a 2021 canopy baseline of 19.5% across an 85.2 km² urban and peri-urban project area, analysed land surface temperature and population vulnerability, and identified priority areas for urban greening. The evidence helped lay the foundation for the City’s Urban Greening Strategy.

Identifying 24,221 Buildings with Higher Wildfire Exposure: How Bhutan Prioritised Wildfire Preparedness

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:19:05 GMT

Industry
International Development

Challenge
Bhutan needed a clear way to see where wildfire risk overlaps with communities and buildings, so authorities could prioritise preparedness and mitigation.

Results
Geoneon developed the Bhutan Forest Fire Exposure Index, assessing more than 400,000 buildings and identifying 24,221 — 5.9% of buildings assessed — classified from Relatively High to Extremely High forest fire exposure.

Mapping multi-hazard infrastructure exposure in Bhutan

marketing@geoneon.com (Geoneon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 10:14:12 GMT

Industry
International Development

Challenge
Bhutan needed a consistent regional view of where buildings, roads and power infrastructure intersected with flood and slope-instability susceptibility.

Results
Across approximately 400 km², mapped infrastructure, susceptibility classes and replacement-value estimates were combined into value-weighted screening layers for closer investigation and planning.
