page guidelines
Burnie City Council’s page provides information about Council services, projects, events, programs and other community information. To ensure your request is received and actioned by the appropriate team, please contact Council through our official customer service channels. We welcome questions, feedback and discussion on our posts, but ask that everyone engages respectfully. To help keep this page a safe and constructive space, Council may hide or remove comments, restrict users or turn commenting off where content or behaviour does not meet our social media guidelines. Comments or content may be removed where they:
🚫 harass, abuse or threaten other visitors, people or organisations;
🚫 are likely to offend others, particularly in relation to race, age, gender, sexuality, political views, religion or disability;
🚫 contain unlawful content or encourage others to break the law;
🚫 may compromise individual or community safety or security;
🚫 are misleading or deceptive, or breach someone's privacy;
🚫 contain obscene or offensive language;
🚫 are repeatedly posted; or
🚫 constitute spam, including commercial solicitations or advertising. Council's Social Media Policy also recognises that social media is a public form of communication and that there are legal considerations associated with content posted on public pages, including defamation. Social media operates 24/7, but Council's moderation capacity is not. While we monitor the page during normal business hours, comments may not be reviewed immediately. Where necessary, Council may restrict commenting or turn comments off on individual posts. We encourage everyone to contribute to conversations in the spirit of respectful, constructive and inclusive community discussion.
