Kimberley unveils new community mapping tool

The City of Kimberley has launched a new mapping tool aimed at giving residents, developers and others insight into local data.

City officials said you can find information on topics such as zoning regulations, transportation routes and property information among others.

“We are glad to finally be revealing this technology to our community,” said City Project Manager Shane Castle. “The Esri mapping program provides an intuitive tool for residents to explore and understand their surroundings on an easy-to-access and up-to-date platform.”

Kimberley staff said the tool will change the way residents and the municipality interact with geographical data.

“The new tool will also support multiple City departments, helping them make informed planning decisions, properly manage infrastructure, improve emergency response, and support analysis of spatial data,” said Kimberley officials.

The new program was built using software from the geographic information system company Esri.

It replaces Kimberley’s previous Planning Information Portal, which officials said was a custom-built solution that can no longer be updated.

City officials encouraged residents to check out the new tool, and you can find a link below.
