The Western Plains App

The Western Plains App is a mobile and web app that keeps users informed with daily news and notifications about what's happening across the Western Plains region of NSW. Launched in June 2021, the app helps users find events, things to do, and search for local businesses and services, all tailored to the communities in the area. Owned and operated by Lee O'Connor and her team, the app focuses on providing relevant, hyper-local content that mainstream media often overlooks. In a time when city-centric news is becoming the norm, the Western Plains App offers a dedicated platform to support and promote the people who live and work across the Western Plains. Alongside other trusted news outlets like local newspapers and community radio, the app serves as a vital resource for staying connected with the region.
