Turning rich location data into real-world action on climate and liveability???
Leading geospatial strategy and data solutions provider The Spatial Distillery Co. has partnered with location intelligence leader Nearmap to help local governments transform high-resolution aerial data into actionable greening strategies.
Across Australia, councils are turning to Nearmap high-resolution aerial imagery and AI-powered location intelligence to address the growing challenges of climate resilience, liveability, and sustainable urban planning. But data alone doesn’t drive change — it needs to be translated into strategy.
That’s where The Spatial Distillery Co. steps in. As a Nearmap Solutions Partner, The Spatial Distillery Co. applies its spatial expertise to Nearmap datasets to create Tree Canopy Benchmark Dashboards and Comprehensive Canopy Reports — giving councils a powerful, data-backed foundation for their greening initiatives.
“Urban greening is no longer optional — it’s essential,” said Nigel Lester, CEO at The Spatial Distillery Co. “Our partnership with Nearmap means councils can go from seeing the problem to solving it, with AI-powered insights that are clear, current, and actionable.”
Why Greening Matters
Urban greening enhances liveability, reduces heat stress, improves air quality, and boosts community wellbeing. Effective strategies require accurate, up-to-date, spatially-detailed data — exactly what this partnership delivers.

- AI-Powered Canopy & Vegetation Maps – Automatically detect tree coverage, turf, bare soil, and other vegetation types using frequently updated Nearmap imagery and machine learning.
- Augmented Analysis – Combine vegetation, heat, and demographic data to inform targeted greening policies and address specific community needs.
