About this Site  Printer Friendly

Welcome to the our website! The website has hundreds of pages of information that will answer your questions.

The site is optimised for home use and graphics have been kept to a minimum to aid speed. The website has been designed to size dynamically, and is been viewed from screen size 800 X 600 upwards in Internet Explorer 5 upwards.

All content contained in the site has been created by staff from Council.

The following details some of the great features about the site:-

Site Navigation
The design of the site is simple and easy to move around in. Major services have been placed on the homepage so that you can easily access the information that you require.

Site index and search have also been included for those people who like to navigate a site in this way. The search facility allows for a simple search of all text within the site, or if you would like a more detailed search of the website including all PDF documents, simply tick for a "detailed search". The site index has every page listed for users who might like to use this method of navigation.

Printer Friendly
A printer friendly button is available on each page of the website, use this when you need to print a page.

Accessibility
The website has been specifically designed to ensure that it is compliant with worldwide standards for disability access. The site is W3C Level A compliant, with additional features from Level AA and Level AAA.

A Larger Text version is available by clicking the "Larger Text" option at the bottom of the page.

Also available is a text only version, this can be accessed by clicking the "Remove Images" at the bottom of the page. The "Remove Images" version reads web site information from the same source at the "Display Images" version, therefore ensuring both versions display exactly the same up-to-date information.

Powered By
The website is powered by AusSoft Solution's WebComm system. It is a content management system based on a distributed authoring set-up. This simply means that staff across the organisation can author, approve and publish pages without technical HTML experience, helping to ensure that the site is kept up to date.

PDF Downloads
We have attempted to keep PDF downloads to a minimum, however there are certain instances where PDF's are necessary. We have used Adobe Acrobat Version 5 for our PDF's and you can download Adobe Reader from this page.

Customer Request
We'd appreciate any feedback you may have about the website. A Feedback form is available.
