Social Media

Social media allows us to engage with our community in new ways. It presents new opportunities to promote our city as vibrant place to live and provides a platform for active discussion and the exchange of ideas.

The ways we use social media platforms are evolving all the time.

Follow our accounts to keep up-to-date on the latest news, events, programs, consultations and service updates, to ask general enquiries and provide feedback, or just to catch a glimpse of our stunning city.
