Active Ageing

Welcome to the Active Ageing App, a partnership research project between the University of Sydney, the City of Parramatta Council, Urban Research & Planning International and the NSW State Emergency Service.

The App is designed to improve access to the external environment by alerting you to educational, hobby and exercise activities available in the City of Parramatta local area and includes real-time transport options to travel to chosen activities.

The App offers the following features:

LOCATIONS
- A pre-loaded list of locations providing quick access to travel time and directions
- Add any number of your own locations to have always available
- Monitor travel time whether travelling by car, transit or on foot
- Detailed turn-by-turn directions are available in a tap

EVENTS
- A detailed calendar of events outlining activities in the City of Parramatta
- Each event includes information and links to relevant websites
- Tap 'directions' to get detailed turn-by-turn directions to the location

WEATHER & ALERTS
- Integration with the Bureau of Meteorology, State Emergency Services and Roads and Maritime Services that provides weather and alerts right within the app

Thank you for your interest and willingness to participate in this project. Enjoy trialling the App over the next 10 weeks to establish what is useful for you and your lifestyle.
