Anonymous Voxel writes "The City of Bayswater, just north of Perth (Australia), has dramatically improved its local government services thanks to the implementation of an easy-to-use browser-based GIS spatial viewer called CitySpatial." Thought not groundbreaking, this is a nice success story for municipal webmapping. From the article: "To resolve these problems the City implemented CitySpatial, a new spatial viewer built around ESRI Australia's locally developed GIS gateway, EView, which provides access to multiple council databases for all City of Bayswater staff via a Web interface. [...] CitySpatial also has many department-specific functions particular to areas such as engineering, assets, environmental health, record management, recreation, security, rangers, parks and gardens, customer services, and town planning, which allow staff to query multiple databases and produce a wide variety of reports in seconds."
