Case Study: NSW Geographical Names Board streamlines road and place naming with Experience Digital

NSW Geographical Names Board - Customer Case Study

NSW Geographical Names Board, the official body responsible for naming and recording places and geographical names in New South Wales, needed to replace two ageing systems with a modern web-based business application that would streamline how government, the public, developers, local councils, and emergency services manage road and place naming proposals. Experience Digital was engaged to design and build the new platform, including migration of spatial data from a legacy IBM Informix database to a modern PostgreSQL and JSON data architecture.

Experience Digital delivered the Proposals.GNB platform, built on a modern serverless AWS cloud architecture, to provide real-time proposal status updates, self-serve user management, email notifications, automated pre-evaluation and eligibility checks, road name pre-approval, and spatial road name search. The solution improved efficiency and transparency, was designed to be scalable and extensible, and lowered total life cost while supporting NSW Government’s digital transformation goals.
