Project Description


There are a lot of popular places to visit all around NSW, but it’s sad that many amazing public places, especially in regional NSW, are hidden gems that do not get the exposure they deserve. Exploroo is an app that empowers people to explore these areas, discover, and get rewarded while supporting local businesses.

Data Story


Exploroo uses three data sets. We are extracting insights from two of these datasets (NSW time series and national recovery) to form a ranking of council areas by quantitative measures such as socioeconomic index rating and population density. Integrating this with the ranking of use of different types of public places from the NSW Shared Spaces Engagement Report allows us to first zone in on a council area that needs help, and then promote public places which haven’t been used as frequently by the public. These datasets are linked to the open-source Google geolocation APIs to search for these places, and calculates how far away they are for the user.
