Abstract
This chapter describes the development of a planning internet site incorporating a suite of spatial decision support system tools to undertake multi-scaled planning analysis. Current functionality allows users to perform dynamic analyses of regional demographic and employment trends toformulate thematic map and associated tabular data results. At the local urban level, users can review the results of a number of ‘what-if’ planning scenarios based on a multiple criteria evaluation approach. The site has been built at the regional levelfor the Wide Bay-Burnett region in Queensland, Australia, and within it, at the local urban level for the rapidly growing and expanding Hervey Bay local government area.
