Your feedback
Through the consultation process, which took place via return-address postcards and an online MySay survey, you told us:
- Most respondents want the ourballarat magazine to continue in a printed format, however, you’d like us to improve our online offering.
- You want to read more stories about events and things to do, plans for the future, and outcomes of consultation.
- You want to see a combination of feature-style stories and shorter, bite-sized content.
- You like the current length of the magazine and the quarterly distribution schedule.
Implementing your feedback
Here’s how the ourballarat team is implementing your feedback:
- The team is currently exploring how we can improve the magazine’s online presence and offering.
- We have dedicated a section of the magazine to upcoming events and things to do in Ballarat.
- We are including some consultation results in the ourballarat magazine — beginning this edition with the ourballarat magazine consultation report.
- We are experimenting with mixing up the feature-style stories with some more bite-sized pieces of content.
