Council’s General Manager Jon Gibbons said he was proud of the small in-house team that designed and built the new website.
‘From day one, we knew we had to put our customers, residents, businesses and visitors at the heart of the project to help them find exactly what they’re looking for regardless of location, age, ability or technology,’ he said.
‘We also tested the new website ahead of launching with our Access and Inclusion Advisory Group to get its feedback to ensure the site is accessible for all.
‘We’ll continue listening and making improvements based on the community’s feedback.’
