\nJudges’ comments<\/h4>\n
A challenging assignment, handled superbly.<\/p>\n
We liked the conversational, engaging tone, excellent use of the active voice and the inviting combination of text and graphics.<\/p>\n
\nMedia statement<\/h4>\n
We wanted to show we didn\u2019t have to use complicated and technical terms to explain important things to our community, while still meeting legal and financial requirements.<\/p>\n
Our 10 year plan consultation document went to every household in Dunedin. We wanted the information to be clear, concise and easily understood to encourage people to get involved and tell us what they think.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re delighted to have won this award and will continue to produce plain English writing that helps us work with our community to get great results for the city.<\/p>\n
