The Brisbane City Council parking occupancy forecasting data is provided to be accessed by third party web or app developers to develop tools to provide Brisbane residents and visitors with likely parking availability within a paid parking area.

The parking occupancy forecasting data is compiled using advanced analytics and machine learning to estimate paid parking availability. The solution uses parking occupancy survey data, parking meter transaction data and other traffic and environmental data.

This dataset is linked to the open data called Parking — Meter locations. The field called MOBILE_ZONE is used to link the datasets. MOBILE_ZONE is a seven-digit mobile payment zone number that may include one or many parking meter numbers.

Additional information on parking meters can be found on the Brisbane City Council website.
