Customer Experience Strategy

We value our customers and are known for delivering great customer experiences.

Yarra Ranges Council is transforming the way we think, work and deliver. Through our Flexible Future Transformation Strategy we are working towards creating a high performing organisation that collaborates and innovates to deliver exceptional customer focused services.

This Customer Experience Strategy plays a significant role in our ability to meet this aspiration, through guiding our efforts to improve our customers’ experiences with Council. 

What is Customer Experience?

Customer Experience (CX) is the sum of all the interactions that a customer has with Council and the customer’s feelings, emotions, and perceptions of Council over the course of those interactions. 

Our goals

  2. Customer experience is central in the design of our services and processes
  3. We make it easier for customers to connect with us, access services and complete their business
  4. Our people value customers, are empathetic and responsive, and accountable for delivering positive customer experience
  5. We measure customer experience and use data, feedback and insights to continually improve our services
