How we connect with our community

The City of Marion uses social media to connect with our community and keep people up-to-date with the latest news, events and initiatives.

Social media allows our residents, visitors and others the chance to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas with us and vice versa. This results in two-way communication and engagement.

Social media forms part of the City of Marion's Marketing and Engagement Strategy. It aims to build strong and positive relationships with our community and stakeholders.
