Market Creations Agency and the Western Australian Local Government Authority (WALGA) celebrated a significant milestone this week with the Shire of Carnarvon coming on board as the 100th subscriber to CouncilConnect.
In 2021, Market Creations Agency was awarded a contract for the development of a new website for the Shire of Carnarvon” – a coastal community located around 900 kilometers north of Perth. This week, Market Creations Agency travelled to Carnarvon to meet with the project team and celebrate the launch of the Shire’s corporate website which occurred in May 2022.
Launched in 2014, CouncilConnect is an innovative website solution developed specifically for local government and designed to empower Councils to better serve their communities online. The 100th subscriber milestone underscores the long-term strategic partnership between Market Creations Agency and WALGA and demonstrates the success of the pioneering website solution.
The CouncilConnect platform is delivered by Market Creations Agency in partnership with WALGA and has administered over 150 web applications to date.
WALGA Chief Executive Officer Nick Sloan said the CouncilConnect platform is a key example of leveraging strong relationships to support the local government sector.
“CouncilConnect is a modern website solution tailored to support local government authorities to connect with their audience online. This aligns with WALGA’s commitment to providing integrated, member-centric services to help members succeed,” said Nick.
“Congratulations to Market Creations Agency for the outstanding achievement and we look forward to our continued partnership,” he added.
Market Creations Agency Managing Director Darren Lee said he is grateful for the support the CouncilConnect platform has received from local government clients over the years.
“The CouncilConnect platform offers our local government clients a bespoke website service to ensure they have an effective online presence that encapsulates their community’s vision. We’re honoured to welcome the Shire of Carnarvon as our 100th subscriber and a chance to celebrate the achievement together in Carnarvon,” said Darren.
“I would like to acknowledge our team for their amazing efforts. It’s thanks to their talents and dedication that we can continue providing a quality service to our clients.
