Development & Integration

Digital services built by DI, for Council.

Built for Council. Owned by Council. Supported by DI.

The DI Team

The Development & Integration team builds, integrates and supports Council-owned digital services across customer contact, disaster management, development services, field operations, corporate communications, data and enterprise systems.

Our work is not just software delivery. We improve business processes, remove manual handling, connect systems, support critical services and build reusable platforms that Council can keep improving over time.

Business improvements

Improvements that make Council work better

DI focuses on practical improvements that reduce friction for staff and customers — sometimes a new digital service, sometimes a small interface change, sometimes an integration or automation that removes manual work from a process.

Reduced manual handling

Automations have removed repetitive administration — manual copying, routing and data handling across customer service and operational systems.

More efficient service processing

Small UI and workflow improvements have saved significant staff time by reducing clicks, rework and unnecessary handoffs.

Better customer experience

The Sunshine Coast App, DisasterHub, Development.i and MyCouncil give customers clearer, easier ways to interact with Council.

Better business visibility

Integrations and data feeds support reporting, operational insight and better decision-making.

Reusable capability

Each solution strengthens the next through shared APIs, identity, notifications, files, payments, data and integration patterns.

Live

Critical services supported

DisasterHub, the Sunshine Coast App, CustomerHub integrations and other operational Council platforms.

Support and operations

We don't just build it. We support it.

Many DI services are operational Council platforms — our responsibility does not end at go-live. We monitor, maintain, improve and support the services we build, and work with business teams as their needs change.

Operational ownership

DI supports live services used by customers, staff and business teams across Council.

Incident response

We investigate issues, restore services, communicate impacts and apply fixes when operational problems occur.

Continuous improvement

We keep improving platforms after launch based on business feedback, support trends and new requirements.

Integration support

We maintain the APIs, data flows and system connections that allow Council services to work end-to-end.

Performance and reliability

We monitor key services, review failures and improve hosting, scaling and resilience over time.

Business support

We work directly with business teams to understand issues, prioritise fixes and improve the service.

Security and governance

Security and support are built into how we work

DI already works within Council's security, governance and operational processes. Security is not a separate activity at the end of delivery — it is part of how we design, build and support Council-owned digital services.

Identity and access control

Secure authentication and role-based access through Council-approved identity patterns.

Vulnerability management

Dependency tracking, software bill of materials and remediation of identified security issues.

Secure cloud hosting

Council-owned Azure hosting patterns with managed access, monitoring and operational controls.

Code and dependency governance

Maintained repositories, dependency updates, code reviews and secure development practices.

Monitoring and logging

Operational visibility across services, integrations and application behaviour.

Change and release control

Controlled deployments, support processes and rollback planning for business-critical services.

Reusable foundations

Every service strengthens the next

DI has developed reusable foundations that reduce the effort and risk of future delivery. New services build on existing patterns rather than starting from scratch — this is Council capability, not one-off systems.

  • SCC.API
  • Identity & MyCouncil login
  • Notifications
  • Payments
  • PDF generation
  • File & attachment handling
  • Address & property search
  • Forms & workflow components
  • Data ingestion patterns
  • Azure hosting patterns
  • Monitoring & telemetry
  • Integration standards
The point of it all

DI has already proven the model

We build Council-owned digital services, integrate them with enterprise systems, improve the way business teams work, support them operationally and keep strengthening the reusable foundations behind them.

The value of DI: not just delivery, but lasting Council capability.
