Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council is committed to engaging with the community. Facebook is one of the ways we exchange information with residents and visitors. Facebook is used to complement information already on our council website at www.hopevale.qld.gov.au. We encourage community members to be involved, however we ask that all users follow the following guidelines:
1. Our social media site d
eals with the everyday issues of local government. The site will not be used for any political campaigning or commentary.
2. Please keep any comments on-topic. Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council will not tolerate content that is offensive, obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, bullying, discriminatory, hateful, racist, sexist, infringes copyright, constitutes a contempt of court, breaches a court suppression order, or is otherwise unlawful. Such comments will be removed. Users who breach the guidelines may be banned from accessing Council’s social media sites. Council also reserves the right to moderate content from individuals who seek to monopolise and dominate Council’s social media sites for their own purposes.
3. Posts and comments made by the Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council page provide reliable information. Opinions posted by users on this page do not necessarily reflect those of the Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council.
