Urban Forest or Concrete Jungle?

The Spatial Distillery Co. help Local Governments better understand their Urban Forest environment. We extract, analyse and report on vegetation, heat and demographics so Councils’ key stakeholders can inform policy to best engage and address community needs.

Turning Data into Actionable Insights

    Tree Canopy

    We specialise in extracting and analysing tree canopy data with precision and expertise. Using advanced remote sensing, LiDAR, and AI-driven analytics, we provide detailed insights into canopy coverage across the whole LGA or select townships and precincts only. By transforming complex geospatial data into actionable intelligence, we empower Local Governments to make informed decisions.

  • Low-angle view of a modern building with glass windows and green ivy along its exterior, under a cloudy sky with the sun partially visible.

    Urban Heat

    Analysing urban heat in context to the built environment and tree canopy helps local councils identify heat islands, optimise green infrastructure, and improve urban planning. By providing data-driven solutions, we support Local Councils in creating cooler, more sustainable, and liveable cities.

  • Low-angle view of a woman lying down in a natural setting with green trees and blue sky in the background.

    Demographics

    Understanding the relationship between trees, urban heat, demographics, and liability reveals how canopy cover impacts temperature, socio-economic factors, and well-being. These insights help cities design greener, more equitable spaces, improving climate resilience, public health, and overall urban sustainability.
