3 Introduction The City of Albany Communications Strategy looks to explain how we communicate our Purpose, Vision and Values to our Community and how we engage residents and other affected stakeholders in decisions or projects that affect their lives. This Strategy will help Council and the City to: build our reputation and credibility; demonstrate accountability; improve networking; and improve community engagement. The effective implementation of strategic communication establishes a narrative which allows audiences to better understand what we stand for and what we do. Moreover this narrative is linked to the brand we wish to be known for, a community focused organisation that is committed to delivering outcomes that benefit the people who work, live and visit the City of Albany. Our Communication Strategy will serve as a living document that guides City personnel and informs them of the channels and tools to deliver positive messages, both internally and externally. 3
4 Strategic Alignment The Communications Strategy supports the City s overarching vision by providing practical communication mechanisms to enhance the five identified themes of the City s Community Strategic Plan: smart, prosperous and growing; clean, green and sustainable; a connected built environment; a sense of community; and able to demonstrate civic leadership. Furthermore, the Communications Strategy supports the ability of the City to effectively communicate our services what we do, how we do it and why we do it. The underpinning principle is that all initiatives and activities undertaken by the City are in the best interests of the Albany community. It is fundamental that all communication activity is consistent with the agreed overarching vision and key themes already identified in the Community Strategic Plan as well as the values committed to in the Corporate Business Plan, namely that we will be: focused on community outcomes; united by working and learning together; accountable for its actions; and proud of its staff and the wider community. 4
5 Principles of Effective Communication The Communications Strategy looks to build on the principles of effective communication which include: Leadership; placing communication at the core of every decisions our leaders make; Credibility; communicating in a manner which is truthful, accurate and respectful; Understanding; providing simple and factual information that shows we are listening; Responsiveness; communicating the right message to the right audience at the right time; Simplicity; residents have busy lives and simplicity pays respect to their time; Outcome-based; what we say must guide what we do; Value; our communication needs to have intrinsic value to the community; Variety; the more channels and tools we use the more key messages are likely to hit home; and Evaluation; analysing effectiveness to ensure communication is relevant and proactive. 5
6 Benefits of Effective Communication Effective communication provides a strong foundation upon which the City can build stakeholder buy-in, building on our reputation as a proactive can do enterprise and branding ourselves as such. Research has shown that effective communication has the potential to: Strengthen and bond relationships with all stakeholders; Generate increased community support and involvement; Improve customer service levels; Provide a platform of strength from which to manage a crisis; Attract new business and residents to the area; and Improve staff morale and job satisfaction. 6
7 Determining the Audience Effective communication starts with the audience; the message recipients. Understanding the audience determines the choice of communication medium and the characteristics of the messages delivered. A sample of the stakeholders who form the City of Albany audience is detailed below: Primary Albany ratepayers and residents Community and special interest groups Albany business community Albany education community Albany tourism industry Albany media Secondary State Government Federal Government Neighbouring Local Governments WA Regional Capitals Alliance WA Local Government Association State based Media Tertiary WA Community Australian Community 7
8 Key Themes Media External Communication City of Albany Communication Strategy Reputation Internal Communication 8
9 External communication External communication is any information we distribute to the public, either about the City itself or our products and services. The challenge for the City is to utilise effective communication strategies to: Grow and maintain customers who are engaged and generally satisfied with what we do. Develop linkages and rapport with unhappy customers who may have had an unsatisfactory experience with the City (perceived or real) to win them back and develop their trust. Develop targeted public affairs strategies to educe concepts that we are the real deal and do not pay lip service to our values and objectives to reduce customer scepticism and demonstrate to the community they get value for money. Utilise communication strategies to broaden awareness of our broad and pivotal role in the Albany community and our commitment to highly responsive and quality customer service. 9
10 1 External Communication Objective How We ll Make it Happen We ll Know We re Succeeding When 1.1 To develop a City of Albany brand that is consistent with our vision, strategic direction and values By consistently aligning communication activities to our long-term vision and strategic planning.

When there is significant engagement with our social media presence. When our websites are functional, useful and utilised by the community. When our advertising is interesting to audiences and effective. 10
11 Media Media are both key stakeholders and the means of delivery of messages to the City s audiences. Councils are often seen as 'soft targets' by the media due to their high level of transparency and wide breadth of influence on the community. Councils are a reliable source of accurate information and therefore make it easy for journalists to develop stories. To ensure a balanced viewpoint is presented it is useful for us to have protocols for dealing with the media. To ensure effective communication of our messages, we must take a proactive approach to media relations to nurture co-operation and mutual respect. 11
12 2 Media Objective How We ll Make it Happen We ll Know We re Succeeding When 2.1 To develop a professional open and honest relationship with the media By fostering positive relationships with the media. By being transparent and honest with the media. By understanding and accepting that media has a job to do.

When the media and community listen to our key spokespeople. 12
13 Reputation and image To a significant degree, the City of Albany s greatest asset is our reputation or good name. Establishing and maintaining a good reputation builds trust. In building reputation, this Communications Strategy embraces the following principles: We need to be clear about what we want to be remembered for. We should continue to undertake efforts to attain a greater understanding of what the community thinks about us. Good communication is developed by an organisation that is united in its belief in the purpose of that organisation. Communications must be implemented consistently, proactively and be reinforced. Working together: while Business Units have differing tasks and priorities, the way service is delivered remains the same. 13

15 Internal communication Internal communication is a discipline whereby employers, employees and colleagues share information and talk to each other, ensuring that there is mutual understanding between all levels. Engaging employees through internal communication is about members of staff being informed and inspired. An engaged workforce feels valued, involved and having a belief that they genuinely matter.
