Yarrabilba Connect App Launches
Its all about community connections. The Yarrabilba Community Association has launched the Yarrabilba Connect App which aims to connect the residents of Yarrabilba with the community and community events.
Clinton Neumann, the chair of the Yarrabilba Community Association Clinton Neumann stated that the Yarrabilba Connect app which was launched last month came out of a social media research conducted in the suburb.
“The initial consultation reviewed the digital landscape surrounding Yarrabilba and made some recommendations in relation to how the community could continue to flourish digitally as the physical space grew,” he said.
“The purpose of the app is to create a single point of reference relating to upcoming events, business listings, community groups, local weather and news and important contact information.”
Mr Neumann said the development of Yarrabilba Connect was given the green light after evaluation of its suitability for the local community, and analysis of its ability to assist building a sense of community and connectedness, which he said were principle activities for the organisation
According to Mr Neumann, Yarrabilba Connect provides a single point of reference which aggregates information from social media in an interactive guide conveniently stored on the user’s mobile device, which gives an advantage over other social media platforms.
