Social media community guidelines

The City of Launceston maintains several social media channels to engage with our community, including:

We love hearing from our community and invite you to engage with us on these platforms.

Please keep comments respectful and on-topic to maintain a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. 

We welcome:

  • Constructive feedback and questions about City of Launceston services and facilities
  • Positive discussion and celebration of our community

At our discretion, we will remove:

  • Abuse, threats, harassment, or personal attacks
  • Hate speech or discrimination (based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, etc.)
  • Defamatory or deliberately misleading comments
  • Spam, trolling, repeated comments, profanity, or obscene content
  • Promotion of violence or illegal activity
  • Sharing of personal or confidential information
  • Impersonation or copyright breaches
  • Misleading or factually incorrect information.

Comments that break these rules will be hidden or deleted. Repeated or serious breaches will lead to blocking.

Comments made by community members are their own views and do not represent the views of the City of Launceston.

For complaints or urgent issues, please use our website, email, or phone rather than social media comments.

Report an issue: https://www.launceston.tas.gov.au/Contact/Report-an-Issue

We moderate social media during business hours. Outside of these times, your ability to comment on some channels may be restricted. In some cases, comments may be disabled to protect the wellbeing, privacy, or safety of people featured in the content, or where discussion may cause distress, harm, or harassment.

Thank you for helping us keep our City of Launceston social media channels, safe, informative and helpful!
