Council uses phone apps to give power to the people: "THE City of Sydney will soon open its planning decisions to the digital masses, with mobile phone apps for citizens to send feedback to the council directly from the sites of proposed developments.
''Consultation apps'' to be available within a year are the next step in a digital engagement strategy, which shows how digital tools could revolutionise citizen involvement in government decision making.
More than 30,000 individuals have already visited a website specifically set up to invite comment on decisions before the council. The number of site visits swamps the 50 or so stalwarts who regularly turn up to community forums."
