How it works

Live before the next committee meeting

Four things happen, and all four are playing on this page right now. Nothing to install, no video to sit through.

  1. 1 Build it
  2. 2 Make it yours
  3. 3 Reach the town
  4. 4 Keep informed

One post, the whole town

This is what makes a hub different from a web page. A notice written on your own page climbs: onto your town's noticeboard, and onto the region's above that. It stays credited to you and keeps linking back, so the traffic comes home.

The footy club writes a notice on its own page.

Nobody retypes anything. Nobody has to remember to tell the hub. And if your group would rather keep something to itself, one switch turns the sharing off.

When it matters, the whole town hears it at once

Fire and flood warnings arrive from the RFS and the Bureau on their own. Your hub can add its own notice, a road cut or a hall closed, and every group linked underneath shows it too, credited to the hub that issued it.

What actually happens when you sign up

  1. Tell us your group's name and kind

    Hall, club, church, progress association, P&C, town hub or business. A complete starter page is built for you on the spot, with sections, a theme and a menu already in place.

  2. Make it yours

    Pick a theme, swap the words, add your photos and your next event. Most committees get there in an evening, and nothing is public until you say so.

  3. Join your town

    Ask to link to your town's hub. Once the hub says yes, your news and events start appearing there and on the region above it, credited to you.

  4. Go live and hand it on

    Publish, share the link in the usual Facebook group, and when the committee changes, whoever takes over signs in and finds it all where it was.
