Minutes Radar turns council meeting minutes into searchable local intelligence: plain-English articles, decisions, projects, issues and council views.
The problem
Council decisions shape streets, suburbs, rates, planning and local services, but the source material is built for process, not for ordinary readers. Minutes are long, dry and easy to miss until a decision has already moved.
What we built
Minutes Radar reads council meeting material and turns it into a structured local product. Users can browse by council, issue, place, project or meeting, then read summaries that point back to the public record.
Why it matters
The product gives residents and local operators a practical way to keep up with council activity. It also creates a search surface for council minutes, planning decisions and local government updates that would otherwise stay buried in PDFs and meeting packs.
Build notes
- Council-minute ingestion that surfaces planning decisions, local issues and project movement.
- Search paths across councils, suburbs, meetings, issues, decisions and projects.
- Article-style summaries for material most people would never read in raw minutes.
