Media Policy

Objective:

To provide a framework for Councillors, staff, delegates and advisers to:

• Ensure all communication with the media is consistent, balanced, well-informed, timely, professional and appropriate
• Clearly indicate Council’s authorised spokespersons; limiting the possibility of miscommunication by ensuring comments to the media relating to Council are made only through those authorised spokespersons
• Improve communication with customers and enhance Council’s public image
