Why are you updating the Social Media Policy?

    Council’s Social Media Policy articulates the framework under which Council engages on social media and has been reviewed in-line with the Council’s rolling policy review schedule to ensure it remains aligned with current best practice standards.

    What informs the Social Media Policy?

    The Policy review included an assessment against the NSW Office of Local Government Model Social Media Policy, developed in 2022. Council’s existing Policy is substantively consistent with the framework outlined in the OLG Model Social Media Policy, and minor refinements in the revised draft have sought to strengthen alignment to the model policy and more clearly articulate roles and responsibilities.
