APPENDIX A

TIPS FOR LIAISING WITH THE MEDIA

These tips are to provide Council spokesperson/s with general hints in supporting the consistency of Council messaging to ensure presentation of a professional image.

Below is an example of the steps to take during and after being contacted by a print media representative.

Contact is made

It is Thursday morning and you have just been contacted directly by a newspaper journalist enquiring about one of the matters for which you are a council spokesperson. They would like to talk with you as soon as possible, either over the phone or in person for Friday’s edition.

Ask questions about the interview

While you are on the phone, be sure to ask questions about the interview and its context. It is your right to get a general idea of what the interview is to include.

Such questions can include:

· Where are you from?

· What is the topic?

· What questions would you like to ask?

· Have you spoken with anyone else at Council about this?

· What are your sources?

· When is this article to be published?

The importance of being informed

From here, if you are the Council spokesperson and are confident and informed on Council’s view of the subject matter, take part in the interview. Once completed, be sure to inform the Corporate Communications Officer of the interview, the information given, who it was with, what publication and edition as soon as possible.

If you need a bit more information, simply tell the journalist you will call them back (or give them a time to call you). This is normal practice and a good idea if you are not one hundred percent certain on Council’s stance and/or the facts.

At this point, there are few things you will need to do, firstly contact the Corporate Communications Officer to let them know you have been contacted by the media. This might be an issue that has surfaced before and they will know what information was made public previously and who has formerly made comment (if it was not yourself). Secondly, either get in contact with the staff member who has the information you need or get the Corporate Communications Officer to find the information you require.

Be mindful that journalists have tight deadlines and generally require information in a timely manner.

Establish a key Message

Be sure to establish the key message you wish to express in your interview. This key message can include one-three points and is the most important message/s you wish to communicate during the interview.

An example may be:

The interview is to be about a resident complaint regarding a large pothole in their street.

Your key points may be:

· Council is aware of the pothole (by being open and telling the journalist that you are aware of the issue, you are showing transparency and owning the problem)

· Crews are currently repairing the damage, which was caused by a flash flood (shows we are serious about road repairs as we are doing something immediately)

· Council endeavours to have the safest roads possible for those travelling throughout the region (this reiterates the importance of health and safety for Council, while finishing off your key message with a positive statement)

You are now in the interview

During the interview, whilst you generally need to acknowledge a journalist’s questions, you should always return to your key points.

Be confident and expect to be challenged by the journalist and try not to let this trouble you – don’t get drawn into conflict!

At any time, you are entitled to ask for your quotes to be read back to you and you are entitled to check the facts you have provided. Be mindful if you make a change, the journalist may report that you retracted your initial comment and replaced with another.

It is also good to remember you are unable to change a quote if you change your mind.

The journalist ultimately ‘owns’ the actual story, therefore you are not entitled for the story to be read back to you.

Once finished...

As soon as reasonably possible after you have completed the interview, please let the Corporate Communications Officer know (either by phone or email) how it went and the direction you think the article may go (this allows us to be pro-active and prepare for any negative press).

Interview hints and tips

· Ask questions before you go into an interview

· Be self aware (know your strengths and weaknesses)

· Have confidence in your key points – be absolutely clear on the facts before speaking to the media

· If you are able, practice with a colleague to gain confidence on the matter in which you will be speaking

Executive Summary:

Maranoa Regional Council called for quotations from suitably experienced civil contractors to upgrade the intersection of Yuleba-Taroom Road and Warrego Highway and widen 4.6 kilometers of Yuleba-Taroom Road. Responses closed on 3 August 2012 and have been assessed and ranked. – Post of the works in the price ordering of culverts.

Officer’s Recommendation:

That, subject to concurrent acceptance by Origin Energy, and conditionally on the provision by Origin Energy of a signed letter of intent to fund all costs and valuation for the project plus a 20% fee, Council award tender number APLNG-WP1 to Probuild Civil (Qld) Pty Ltd at an estimated value of $3,974,932.00 (excluding GST).

Also that Council endorses Origin Energy LOI “Early Road works: Culvert”, Value $464,702.00 plus 20% fee

Body of Report:

Yuleba-Taroom Road, Horse Creek Road and Reedy Creek Road have been assessed as requiring upgrades to offset the adverse impact on the existing road structure by APLNG (Australian Pacific Liquefied Natural Gas) generated traffic. These works will include pavement widening and strengthening of more than 50 kilometres of road network.

The works associated with these upgrades have been separated into several packages. The first package is the civil works to upgrade the intersection of Yuleba-Taroom Road and Warrego Highway and widen the first 4.6 kilometres of Yuleba-Taroom Road.

Through Local Buy Contract Number BUS 206-0111 Council called for prices from two (2) prequalified contractors for the civil works for all package one. RoadTek were also invited to provide a price for the works. The responses received were assessed and ranked in accordance with the following selection criteria:

1. Value for Money (50%);

2. Track Record and Relevant Project Experience (20%);

3. Capability and Appropriate Resources (20%); and

4. Enhancement of Local Business and Industry (10%)

The responses received and evaluation results have been detailed in the attached documents: APLNG-WP1-Responses.MRC and APLNG-WP1-Evaluation.MRC.

The attached document: Quotations of RCM/RCBC Supply is a summary of the assessment of the quotes received for the culverts required to complete agreed works. After discussion with Origin Energy it is proposed Humes supply the culverts at a value of $464,702.00 a 20% general administration fee will be applied prior to invoicing of Origin.

Consultation (internal/external):

Council’s Infrastructure staff,

Origin Energy staff,

Aurecon Australia Pty Ltd staff

Risk Assessment (Legal, Financial, Political etc.):

Generally the administration of the contract should be relatively low risk. The contract documentation is based on a draft contract developed by Council’s Lawyer’s McCullough Robertson for use in the NDRRA process.

Both of the considered respondents appear to have extensive experience in the delivery of similar projects and provided documentation to support their enhancement of local business.

Some Community members may perceive these works as being needless and consider upgrade works on other roads as being more justified. A coordinated communication program, involving both Maranoa Regional Council and Origin Energy, will be implemented prior to commencement of works to counteract this view.

Subject to Council reaching agreement with Origin Energy in the form of a LOI, there will be little or no financial risk to Council in awarding these works.

Policy Implications:

Procurement process has been carried out in accordance with Council’s procurement policy.

Financial Resource Implications:

Funding for the upgrading of 4.6 km of Yuleba – Taroom Rd including the intersection with the Warrego Highway will be provided by Origin Energy through a Letter of Intent. The Letter of Intent provides for Origin Energy to fund all costs associated with the upgrading works.

Local Content:

Apart from the role of Airport Manager, all tenders confirmed they will be recruiting and training local people to fill all other positions should they be awarded the contracts.

Given the specialised nature of the airport managers role, this position would likely be recruited from outside of the Maranoa.
