“Yellowbox lockers are one of the most visible smart city initiatives we’ve done for residents and visitors to our beaches and aquatic centres. Residents love the ability to reserve a locker in advance and swim without having to worry about their belongings.”

Anthony Collis - Smart City Lead, Randwick City Council

The disconnect

Less than 4% of citizens are aware of Smart City Initiatives

$189 billion will be spent on Smart Cities globally in 2023 yet citizens remain unaware of the work being done behind the scenes - the question is why?

It's because it's difficult for citizens to directly engage with technology they can't immerse themselves in. Yellowbox smart lockers is a smart city investment which ensures citizens directly interact with and experience the importance of Smart City innovation first hand.
