The challenge

The hardest part can be knowing where to start.

Across every community, people ready to be active struggle to find their next step. The information exists, but it’s scattered.

01

Fragmented discovery

Clubs, facilities, programs and coaches sit across different systems and websites.

02

Unequal navigation

Language, disability, location and familiarity with sport all add friction.

03

Lost intent

Inspiration rarely translates into a clear, local next step.

Active Spaces solves the discovery problem at the sector level, so every organisation is working from the same complete, current picture.

A shared national database

One shared source of truth for community sport and recreation​

A cross-industry database of community sport and recreation sites, freely available to governments, national bodies, planners and operators. It’s the foundation that every ActiveXchange intelligence layer builds upon, and it’s yours to explore at no cost.

Comprehensive site coverage

Hundreds of thousands of public and private sites, continuously verified against activity data from hundreds of integrated delivery entities. The most complete national picture available.

Deep detail on every site & program

Beyond just location and name, Active Spaces holds facility types, surface materials, capacity, condition, accessibility, opening hours, ownership, transport access and more.

One shared source of truth

A common, open repository that governments, national bodies, planners and operators all contribute to and draw from, ending duplication and disconnected local records.

How a database this large stays this current

Anyone can prompt a generalist AI to scrape a few websites. Active Spaces runs something far harder to build: a coordinated system of specialist AI agents, each trained on tens of thousands of verified records from a decade of ActiveXchange data.

Every agent has one job. Together, they deliver a level of coverage, accuracy and connectedness a single AI or team simply can’t match.

Discovery

Continuously scan trusted sources for new venues, clubs, programs and coaches.

Validation

Cross-check records against verified data to confirm accuracy

Classification

Structure information into consistent, comparable formats

Connection

Map relationships between venues, clubs, sports and pathways

Everything connected, in one place

Active Spaces brings together the full picture of physical activity opportunity, connected across:

Activity Finder

Give your community one place to find what's on.

Right now, most people searching for something to do end up on out-of-date council pages or scattered club websites. The Activity Finder solves that in one place. Residents search, get verified results near them, and click straight through to book or enquire.

You control what appears: filtered to your region, your sport or your organisation. And it lives on your website, under your brand.

Venues, clubs, coaches and programs, filtered to your audience

A tailored view for your organisation, sport or region

Beyond a search result

The depth that makes discovery relevant

Google can show you a list of places. Active Spaces shows you the right ones, with the depth of information that turns a search into a confident decision.

Accessibility, in detail

Wheelchair access, sensory-friendly sessions, adaptive equipment, inclusive coaching.

Live feedback on quality

Ratings, reviews and utilisation data help residents choose with confidence, and help providers see how their offer compares.

Accredited and qualified coaches

Verified qualifications, safeguarding credentials and specialisms, so parents, referrers and participants know who they’re working with.

Verified clubs and programs

Officially recognised affiliations with national and state governing bodies, separating verified pathways from unofficial listings.
