GOLDEN Plains Shire\u2019s official print publication is expanding with a new e-edition of the municipal gazette set to debut later this year.<\/p>\n
Known as the eGazette, the web-based newsletter will be issued bi-monthly, alternating with the Shire\u2019s hard copy gazette.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil is thrilled to add the eGazette as yet another way for residents to stay connected with council and up-to-date with what\u2019s happening across the Shire,\u201d said mayor Cr Helena Kirby.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity members can sign-up to receive the new e-newsletter from mid-August by registering on council\u2019s website or by emailing our communications and engagement team.\u201d<\/p>\n
The eGazette will join a range of other online communication platforms offered by the Shire, including social media profiles on Facebook, twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as the municipal website.<\/p>\n
A statement issues by Golden Plains Shire said delivery of the eGazette product \u201cfulfills a commitment in Council\u2019s Communications & Marketing Strategy 2019-2021 and aligns with Objective 5.1 Information and engagement to involve our community in decision making in the recently adopted Council Plan 2021-2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cr Kirby said the new online offering would compliment the hard copy product.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gazette is council\u2019s most popular communications publication, and the eGazette will provide our community with the same quality stories in between each printed edition,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunicating issues and opportunities across a wide variety of accessible and functional platforms is a key action in our Council Plan 2021-2025, and council remains committed to providing access to both print and digital communications channels for our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
