GOLD Program: Brisbane City Council Events for Older Adults

Brisbane City Council's GOLD (Growing Older, Living Dangerously) events data includes locations, dates, times, costs, booking requirements, and venues. The dataset is a daily transformed extract from the Trumba Calendar API, limited to the next 2,000 events. It is published by Brisbane City Council under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Mapping event locations and frequencies for older adults based on venue and location data

Strengths

• Data is updated daily, ensuring relatively current event listings
• Source data is drawn from a structured calendar API (Trumba), suggesting consistent formatting
• License is clearly stated as CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution

Limitations
