Our Commitment
Our Values are our commitment to you - our community, that describe what to expect when you interact with us and also help to guide decisions about services we deliver.
We have identified four values that we believe will help us to deliver exceptional community experience, quality outcomes and a great place to work.
These values were developed through a series of workshops with our community and our staff. We consulted with various community groups to provide an opportunity to review our draft values and ensure they will be meaningful for people in their community group, and the language is simple and easy to understand.
We acknowledge the following groups for their feedback:
- Youth Council
- Intercultural Alliance Group
- Volunteers Group
Our Elected Members were also involved in workshops to review the draft values and they have been signed off by Council.
We believe we have developed values that are unique to the City of Salisbury and our community.
