What is Whitehorse News?

    Whitehorse News is Council’s monthly community newspaper, providing updates on Council news, consultations, events and projects.

    Why did the distribution model change?

    Our community told us that letterbox delivery of Whitehorse News was not very effective.

    1. Delivery was unreliable. People who wanted it were not always receiving it.
    2. Whitehorse News was often seen as junk mail, not recognised as Council news
    3. People who did not want it were receiving Whitehorse News, leading to a lot of paper waste.

    What happened to the Whitehorse Leader?

    The Whitehorse Leader went out of print. It is available online, but you need to pay a subscription to access it. It is produced by the same media group that produces the Herald Sun newspaper. Council has no role in decisions about the Whitehorse Leader.
