City of Melbourne Employment POIs

Description
A POI layer for workplace locations in the City of Melbourne.

Produced from publicly available, anonymised data from the City of Melbourne, this POI layer provides extremely locationally-granular demand such that pax will pathfind directly to the city block on which they work. They will choose between nearby stations, and even nearby tram stops.

Includes 3 demand curves and separate POIs for "Shift Work" sectors, "Office" sectors, and "Entertainment"/Hospitality sectors. Blocks with fewer than 10 employment positions were omitted. Data used is an average of 2021 and 2022, rounded up.

This was both more and less difficult and time consuming than I thought. The main hurdle was finding a dataset and location data that could be easily read and parsed, as was recent. Given the results of this mod I may elect to continue with more LGAs, provided they have a reasonable dataset available, but don't hold your breath.

The provided demand curves are not particularly scientific, they're mostly just vibes based.

As pointed out by another user, credit for the City of Melbourne logo is with them, and is used under Australian Fair Use and Fair Dealing principles.

+JJRol City of Melbourne seems to be the only LGA for which you can get locationally granular data like this without making a full request to someone like the ABS.

Where exactly do you get this data from? I am looking into doing POI's for other LGA's but the census bureau doesn't look like they have the data.
