Council launches facebook page

The South Waikato District Council launched its corporate facebook page last week.

"The corporate page will be used to make posts about projects that Council is working on in the district, like road works, events coming up, leagues running at the South Waikato Sport and Events Centre, library promotions, consultation processes and so forth," said Kerry Fabrie, Council's Communications Manager.

The corporate page will also carry notifications of all press statements, advertisements and announcements made on Council's webpage so that users can access Council news at the click of a button.

"Our first post was to let the community know that the Draft Annual Plan 2013-14 is open for public consultation so go ahead and have your say. The post links to our website and there is an easy to use on line submission form too," continued Ms Fabrie.

"Council already has a civil defence/rural fire facebook page which carries messages specifically related to emergencies, hazards and civil defence situations like when Old Taupo road washed away last year," continued Ms Fabrie.
