The company responsible for the highly criticised Bureau of Meteorology website overhaul has won a $16 million tender to develop another climate data website for the government.
Technology company Accenture Australia, which was also contracted for BOM's $96 million redesign, has been tasked with building a "platform service" for the Australian Climate Service over the next three years.
It includes options for two extensions, with a maximum end date in 2033.
But the move has been criticised by people with knowledge of the project, with questions raised over whether it will be value for money, and concerns it could come at the cost of the ongoing climate science work needed to inform it.
