City of Stonnington Mayor, Cr Tim Smith, said: “Providing residents with a website that is intuitive, user-friendly and leading edge in its design and functionality is a priority to us”.

“It was important that the product we chose for the website redevelopment was one that would allow us to continue to expand our digital capabilities over the next three years and enhance our communication, engagement and service delivery – for the benefit of residents, businesses and visitors to the site.”

He said: “Our vision for the Council website is that it will provide us with a platform to engage in two-way communication, playing an important role in community consultation, and from a customer perspective, make dealing with Council an easy and efficient process. The solution offered by BlueArc will enable us to work towards such capabilities.”

Mayor, Cr Tim Smith said: “I am pleased to make good my promise on election that I would ensure the website is updated and approved in accordance with the high expectations our residents have to better facilitate two-way communication between ratepayers and their Council.”

Chad Craven, Director of Interactive Business for BlueArc, comments, “We look forward to working with the City of Stonnington to exceed their expectations on this exciting project. Our continued success within Local Government is testament to the quality of our services and our team.”
