Description

The project will create a new Discover Ashfield website and Augmented Reality app experience to provide a digital platform; showcasing Ashfield as an attractive place to live, visit, study, work and do business. The website will focus on developing the visitor economy and promoting visitor attractions, as well as the business theme to promote the area for investment and provide information for businesses. It will also provide useful and engaging information for residents, further developing the Love where you Live and Be Healthy, Be Happy themes.

The Augmented Reality app will be an extension to the website experience supporting the overall visitor journey and will be focused on visitor attractions and towns centres. It is envisaged the digital platforms will be centred around a map layout to direct users to points of interest and provide simple access to information. Gamification and platform income generation should be built in to enhance the offer and sustainability options for both the website and mobile APP
