part to decisions made more than 50 years ago.

Governments
around the globe
now embrace
online
consultation.

democratisation
through
technology is
reshaping the way
we deliver public
value.

As expectations
continue to
grow, public
sector
communicators
are adapting to
more with less.

changing the way

“A city is not an accident,
but the result of coherent
visions and aims”Leon Krier, The Architecture of Community
The views of the people are at the heart of the
vision for Melbourne’s future. A clear plan for two-
way engagement was critical.

Two core aims
were central to all
communication.
Six channels
worked together to
deliver a consistent
narrative.
Continual listening,
ongoing analysis
and evaluation
helped refine and
adapt.

A refreshed brand helped reinforce a sense of
shared responsibility. It reminded people the
choices they are helping make today will echo
for generations to come.

Print, radio and online worked
together to raise awareness and
encourage people to get
involved.
