Discover Mitcham with interactive app

City of Mitcham has launched an interactive app to help residents and visitors discover the region’s rich history and places of interest.

The 'Visit Mitcham' app, funded by the Australian Government under the City Deal, features an interactive map, self-guided walking tours, photos, links and the top 20 heritage places across four areas.

City of Mitcham Mayor Dr Heather Holmes-Ross said the app would offer visitors a unique insight into the history and highlights of Mitcham, such as the award-winning Mitcham Memorial Library and Brownhill Creek redevelopment.

“This will help visitors plan their day in our internationally recognised ‘Tree City’,” Dr Holmes-Ross said. “It will make it easy to choose a self-guided walking tour to explore the plains and hills, our beautiful parks and reserves or some of Adelaide’s earliest architecture.”

The app includes a ‘My Day’ feature to help users plan and remember favourite sites, a notification when near a Mitcham site, a photo and story of each place and the location of reserves, amenities and cafes en-route. There are plans to continue to add new content and exciting new features to ensure there is more to discover.

The app is available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
