Customer Charter
The Customer Charter is the foundation of Council’s commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do by being easy to deal with, there when you need us, listening and getting the job done right.
Who are our customers?
Our customers are people who interact with us whether they are residents, ratepayers, business operators, visitors, contractors, employees, Councillors, or other government and non-government organisations.
Our commitment to you
Putting customers at the heart of everything we do means:
- understanding your needs
- engaging with you in a meaningful way
- having the right processes, systems, and tools to enable our employees to deliver great customer experiences.
Delivering you the best experience
When dealing with you, we will:
- act in a professional, friendly, and helpful manner
- treat you with respect
- listen to your concerns
- communicate with you in plain and simple language consistently and accurately
- own our mistakes and work with you to fix them
- take responsibility of your enquiry, and keep you informed.
How you can help
We want to provide you with the best possible customer service – you can help us by:
- being patient, considerate and respectful – verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated
- providing honest and accurate information
- letting us know when your contact details or circumstances change
- paying your bills on time or contacting us if you are having trouble paying.
Provide feedback or make an enquiry
We are committed to dealing with all feedback fairly, confidentially, promptly and in a respectful manner.
We rely on our customers to provide us with honest and fair feedback about our operations and services. This is so we can understand areas of our business that need improving.
