Hyperlocal with the Neighbourhood Networks Platform

› Presenter: Rainer Wasinger


› Neighbourhood Networks: An experimental platform developed at The University of Sydney

- Catering for hyperlocal services, i.e. location-based services concentrating on very specific and constrained geographical regions.

- Trends show that communities are looking closer to home for services to help with everyday needs from washing cars and gardening to babysitting.


Walkthrough of the Neighbourhood Networks platform:







› Mobile Website:


› What this platform does well:

- This platform places the user in the geographic centre, allowing them to create regions based on simple structures like postcodes up to complex regions such as free-form polygons that may or may not include/exclude particular locations.

- Allows these regions to be reused across a variety of hyperlocal services.

- Services that want to target specific geographical locations; services that want to target neighbourhood communities, …


› We are still in the early phase of service creation, but are keen to connect with interested parties and get community involvement and feedback!!!

- Do you have an idea for a hyperlocal service?

- Perhaps you already have a hyperlocal service and want to connect it to other hyperlocal services?
