SEED is NSW's central portal for accessing, sharing, and contributing environmental data. Developed for the community and government, it streamlines data discovery to empower evidence-based decisions and increase transparency.
Why we exist
Why was SEED developed?
SEED was developed in collaboration with over 50 end-user groups, who advised that a unique and technically innovative approach was needed to improve access and use environmental data. SEED brings together applications to view environmental data including powerful search, visualisation, interactive mapping and content management tools never before integrated in Australia, to deliver a unique and seamless user experience.
