01 / Independence
Not a government service
ParkReady Victoria is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Parks Victoria or the Victorian Government. It uses no government logos, maps, photographs or visual branding.
02 / Source
Official text, visibly attributed
The condition index adapts Parks Victoria website material under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Every condition links to its controlling official record and carries the attribution © Parks Victoria 2019. Third-party material and imagery are excluded.
03 / Freshness
Hourly, with fail-closed states
The source is checked hourly. Data is labelled current through two hours, stale after two hours and source-check-required after six hours. Any failed, malformed or anomalous fetch immediately wins over age. An invalid snapshot never replaces the last valid one.
04 / Meaning
No safety or openness score
A matching notice is not a complete risk assessment. No match is not “all open”. The system does not invent reopening dates, route around closures, summarize emergencies, personalize advice or tell anyone to proceed.
05 / Privacy
No accounts or behavioural profile
The v0 site has no user accounts, email alerts, forms, advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Aggregate first-party request counts may be used to judge whether the public pages have repeat utility.
06 / Beta
Public from day zero
ParkReady is a public beta. Source and page checks run continuously, and new features only ship after reliability, privacy and usefulness checks. The core condition index remains available without an account.
