Feedback on the Whitehorse News Distribution Trial closed on 21 July 2021. We are preparing the findings and will update this page with any outcomes.
Whitehorse News is Council’s monthly community newspaper, providing updates on council news, consultations, events and projects.
Our community tells us that letterbox delivery of Whitehorse News is not very effective.
Delivery is unreliable
Whitehorse News is often seen as junk mail, not recognised as Council news
There can be a lot of paper waste
We want to improve access to Whitehorse News
We are planning to trial a new distribution method for Whitehorse News.
We want to be sure that residents who want it can get a clean, dry copy easily and reliably.
The trial
Stop letterbox distribution between November 2021 and March 2022.
We will start distributing in October 2021:
Outside supermarkets in large display boxes
In libraries, Aqualinks, maternal child health centres, neighbourhood houses and other community centres
Via Council's in-home care staff who provide services to older residents
We will
Maintain delivery to retirement villages
Use large display boxes with clear signage so they are highly visible
Make it easier to sign up for the digital edition for those who want to
Tell us what you think
