Summer QR codes around town

There is so much to do in the city this summer it’s hard to keep track. That’s why we’ve turned to QR codes to help people explore the city and discover more about all the great things on offer.

The QR codes are scattered all over Melbourne and look a lot like a randomly pixelated black and white box – see left.

To find out what’s happening, all you need to do is scan one of the QR codes (QR stands for quick response) with a smart phone  such as iPhone or Android, and information about the area, things to do and available offers will be delivered right to your phone.

Offers include special retail promotions and dining offers at a range of city venues.

Where can you find the QR codes?
The QR codes are located on Snap me t-shirts worn by staff at Flinders Street and driving mobile billboard scooters around the city, as well as at fixed locations along the Yarra River to Docklands.

How do I download a QR code reader or app?
Through iTunes app store or via the web. These are free and easy to download.

If I don’t have a smart phone, can I still find out what the offers are?
You can only access the QR codes using a smart phone, however there is plenty of information on the City of Melbourne What’s On website listing things to do in the city this summer, catering for all age groups.

How long are the offers valid?
The offers will be available during the 462 summer campaign and will change from time to time as new offers become available.
