Standardise data model, entities and APIs

Initiative Outline

Problem statement

How can a standard set of data entities and uplifted and standardised APIs in the Portal be established, to meet common needs of all councils, while allowing for configurable additions to accommodate council-specific needs?

Scope

This will involve exploring factors such as: 

• Standardising the approach to lower council’s maintenance costs by reducing the complexity of developing and maintaining internal systems.
• Helping councils reduce the time it takes to implement tech systems.
• Making it easier for councils to adjust system features to suit their specific needs, while still meeting the common needs of all councils. 

Please note that the scope may be adjusted. Any changes will be communicated accordingly.
