Strategic Governance

Communicating and Connecting with Community

They expect to be informed on emerging issues and important City Council decisions, and regular external communication using multiple channels and platforms is required to achieve this.

• Managing the City's website, engagement portal, and social media platforms.
• Creating and co-ordinating materials for print and online media.
• Providing strategic communications advice and services to City departments, as well as senior leadership.
