Any help in creating wordpress automated dog park search site!

Hi All,

This might seem like a leftfield request and one that isn't particularly profitable, but I am a dog walker in Melbourne Australia and we have a lot of restrictions as to where you can take your dogs.

There are a few government resources etc to find specific council areas. But I want a more interactive, more verified information source for people with photos they provide.

My nearest 'competitor' seems to be doggo DOT com.au the issue I have with this is that they are a front for a wordpress design company, they have nothing to do with dogs, and the whole content is user generated, no verification etc. Just a trail of user comments (to provide content for google of course).

I am looking to do something halfway between fully automated, and completely manual. As I have my main dog walking site to look after I dont want to spend every day meticulously 'pawing' over information, but I do want to provide maybe more information, maybe on less parks.

Does anyone know how I can automate some of this process, presumably with some sort of plug ins? I am new to wordpress (previously used joomla) so I am not sure how I could for instance provide an automated form for people to submit information, or a Search box where people put there suburb or post code in to search for parks nearby.

Any help appreciated. Cheers Bruce
