PALMERSTON NORTH CITY COUNCIL

 

Memorandum

TO:                                Council

MEETING DATE:           27 May 2019

TITLE:                            Options for Community Groups and Schools to promote events

DATE:                            13 May 2019

Presented By:            Christy Dobbs, Head of Brand and Marketing, Marketing and Communications

APPROVED BY:             Sacha Haskell, General Manager - Marketing and Communications

 

 

RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Council

1.   That Council receive the memorandum dated 13 May and titled “Options for Community Groups and Schools to promote events”.

 

 

 

1.         ISSUE

Following the removal of sign parks at the end of last year, officers have been investigating alternative options for community groups and schools to promote their events. This memorandum presents an update for Councillors on the actions taken to assist community groups in promoting their events.

2.         BACKGROUND

Council at its meeting on 19 December 2018 had the following discussion and resolutions:

Elected Members noted that Council did not have an option for Community Groups to promote their events once the sign parks were removed at the end of December 2018. It was suggested that replacing the digital iSite sign that was currently decommissioned would provide an opportunity for those groups, whilst other alternatives were considered.

 

 

 

RESOLVED

1. That Council receive the Replacement Community Signage Options Report.

2. That Council prioritise the upgrade/replacement of the decommissioned digital I-site sign as an option for community groups and schools to promote their events.

3. That Council bring forward renewal budget of $54,000 for 2018/19 year for replacement of digital I-site sign.

Council has since arranged with an external company to import a replacement LED sign for the iSite and this has been installed and operational from April 2019.

With the advances in digital technology, this screen provides a significant upgrade in quality and increase in size from the previous LED screen.

The LED screen is available for the promotion of community and school events under the same process and terms held previously in place for community groups, and is available by booking through the Council Events team, and charged $4 per day.

Other Promotional Channels

Council officers reviewed the current promotional channels used by community groups who they liaise with regularly, and supplemented this with an additional list of promotional channels and resources which are also available for community groups to use.

Council provides opportunities within council assets which includes city entrances, kiosks, community halls and libraries as well as CCOs and other community resources such as community pools by arrangement.

This list has been compiled and distributed to both prior advertisers within sign parks, and community groups known to Council events and community development teams.

In addition all information for the booking of council-owned assets will be made available on the PNCC website and a booklet outlining the same with instructions on how to access these will be made available to public through Council reception.
