3D Virtual Tours for public sector and government

Capture and document government facilities, public infrastructure and civic spaces with Matterport 3D virtual tours. From asset reporting and compliance documentation to stakeholder briefings and public engagement, 3D Walkabout helps agencies and departments maintain accurate, shareable visual records of any site.

Federal Government

3D Walkabout provides federal agencies with a fast, accurate and cost-effective way to assess, document and manage their facilities. Government and defence sites can be captured and turned into a detailed, fully navigable digital twin within hours, giving teams deeper visibility across their buildings for better efficiency, collaboration and operational outcomes.

State and Local Governments

From schools and health facilities to council buildings and public infrastructure, state and local agencies rely on accurate, up-to-date records of their spaces. 3D Walkabout’s Matterport scans can be used across a facility’s full lifecycle, from design and construction through to ongoing asset management, emergency planning, wayfinding and smart city development.

The 3D Walkabout Advantage

Give your agency a smarter way to manage and communicate across sites. With accurate Matterport digital twins, teams, contractors and partner organisations can securely collaborate on any space without needing to be on location.

Enhance Public Safety

Public safety agencies can use Matterport 3D scans to create complete, accurate representations of incident scenes and facilities, improving collaboration, workflows and physical security for both staff and the communities they serve.

  • Reduce time spent on scene and lower risk exposure
  • Minimise bias and human error in documentation
  • Run virtual training and collaborative walkthroughs
  • Capture as-builts for pre-plans, code compliance and wayfinding
  • Present compelling visual evidence for crime and fire scenes
  • Meet certification and agency standards

Engage with Citizens and Community

Federal, state and local agencies can extend their physical presence with a digital one, making services, spaces and information more accessible to the communities they serve.

  • Offer virtual access to landmarks, venues and historic sites around the clock
  • Maintain continuity of operations during disruptions, adverse weather or emergencies
  • Improve accessibility for visitors, people with disabilities and special needs communities

Improve Facility Management and Operations

Matterport digital twins give agencies critical building intelligence including measurements, dimensions and physical layout, reducing the cost of site surveying and as-built modelling by up to 80%.

  • Integrate with agency systems including Maximo, SAP and Archibus via Matterport’s API/SDK
  • Automate asset recognition and use tags to label equipment for repairs, maintenance and training
  • Use 3D indoor mapping to support staff onboarding, wayfinding and site orientation

    3D Matterport Tours for Public Sector and Government

    Matterport 3D tours give government agencies and departments a clear, visual record of facilities, infrastructure and public spaces at every stage of their lifecycle. From initial condition assessments through to construction progress, fit-out and ongoing asset management, each scan creates a fully navigable digital twin that can be reviewed, shared and referenced at any time. For facility managers and project leads, this means better documentation, fewer unnecessary site visits, clearer communication across teams and contractors, and a reliable visual record if compliance questions or disputes arise.

    By capturing spaces before walls are closed or works are completed, including structural elements, services, finishes and site conditions, Matterport tours help public sector teams reduce confusion, speed up decision-making and maintain a complete digital record of every asset from start to finish.

    Benefits of using 3D virtual tours for Public Sector and Government

    Support compliance and audit requirements. Maintain a time-stamped, fully navigable visual record of government facilities and public assets that meets documentation standards and holds up under scrutiny.

    Improve cross-agency collaboration. Give teams, departments and external contractors a shared view of any site without coordinating physical access or travel.

    Enhance public transparency and engagement. Make government facilities, sites and civic spaces virtually accessible to the public around the clock, without the overhead of physical tours or open days.

    Strengthen asset and facilities management. Capture accurate spatial data across your entire property portfolio to support maintenance planning, condition reporting and lifecycle management.

    Document public infrastructure at every stage. Record construction progress, fit-out and site conditions from the ground up, creating a permanent reference for project teams and stakeholders.

    Reduce the need for physical access. Give inspectors, auditors and project teams a fully navigable view of any site without coordinating on-site visits or disrupting operations.

    Speed up approvals and decision-making. Use a 3D record to clarify site conditions, reduce back-and-forth across departments and help teams reach decisions faster.

    Support handover and defect documentation. Provide a detailed visual record of completed works, finishes, layouts and key site details at the point of practical completion or asset transfer.

    Manage multiple sites and projects from one place. Give agencies and project leads a practical way to monitor progress across several locations without relying solely on photos, reports or repeated site visits.

    Build community and stakeholder confidence. Demonstrate that facilities and infrastructure are being professionally documented, maintained and managed with full transparency.

    How are Matterport 3D tours currently being used by government and public sector agencies in Australia?

    Matterport 3D tours are being used by government agencies and public sector organisations to document facilities, support asset management and improve collaboration across sites and departments. Rather than relying on site photos, written reports or physical inspections, a Matterport scan gives project teams, facility managers and stakeholders a way to virtually walk through any property at any stage of its lifecycle, from condition assessments and construction progress through to compliance documentation and asset handover.

    For facility managers, it means maintaining an accurate visual record of government properties without repeated site visits, with structural elements, services and finishes captured before works are concealed. For project leads and planners, it provides a practical way to monitor progress remotely, verify works against design intent and keep departments informed without coordinating physical access every time.
