Access to Digital Twin Victoria Program Closure Report
Dear Victorian Department of Transport and Planning,
I would like to make a request to access the Digital Twin Victoria (DTV) Program Close Report.
I have a general interest in ensuring Digital Twin Technology continues on the back of the $37.4 million investment (of tax payers money) in digital twin technology, geospatial data and spatial innovation.
To me there has not been closure of the DTV project for the public and the professional organisations who donated their time, resources and data to contribute to this initiative, including my self.
I really don’t think it is fair that only the steerco gets the opportunity to read the program close report.
I did try and request access the report from the Director Digital Twin Victoria, with, I believe, valid justification but was denied. I believe that public access to this report will be beneficial to the Victorian Public and that it will further improve the return on investment in this fantastic program.
Yours faithfully,
Marco Giana
