 The City of Bunbury’s AI Journey

Elijah Glass, Manager Information Services, will explain how the City of Bunbury is moving from AI curiosity to practical outcomes - safely, securely, and at low cost.

Elijah will unpack Bunbury’s 'Lean AI' approach: from setting enabling policies and safe-use guidelines, to establishing an AI Taskforce, hands-on leadership training, and a secure staff chatbot that keeps data in Australia.

You’ll see how Bunbury is:
- operationalising AI governance
- building in-house capability,
- turning existing content into knowledge bases that power internal agents, and a public-facing AI chatbot.

Elijah will share lessons learned, quick wins other councils can replicate, and how to balance innovation with non-negotiable security and privacy standards.
