Launched in May 2017, our website was co-designed with our community to transform the Boroondara online customer experience.
The launch of our site was a key milestone in our Customer Experience Improvement Strategy which is about putting you at the centre of everything we do.
In keeping with our customer-first promise and our commitment to keeping you informed, this Website Performance Dashboard has been developed to show our progress towards creating an empowering online experience for our community.
These results are from 1 July - 30 September 2019 and will be updated quarterly.
