Council has launched a new What’s On Scenic Rim website, which provides a one-stop-shop of events right across the Scenic Rim – www.whatsonscenicrim.com
The previous What’s On page on Council’s website has been made redundant, with the navigation now linking to the new site, which shows events across the region in various categories. This includes community and family, arts and culture, lifestyle and education, music and drink, sports and more.
The website automatically gathers event information from major ticketing and event websites such as Eventbrite, ATDW, Trybooking, Ticketmaster, Humanitix, Ticketek, Songkick and from social media. If your event isn’t picked up automatically through these sites, you can submit your own event listing on What’s On Scenic Rim for free.
The Submit an Event page will guide you through the listing process. As the website is a highly visual platform, you will be asked to add at least one high-resolution image for your event.
If users have a particular category or type of event they are interested in, they can sign up and save their favourite search and then receive notifications if a new event is posted in this category. We hope you enjoy using the site and that you will be able to attract more community members to your events through this platform.
