Local Government Live Streaming
ENSURE TRANSPARENCY AND ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR RELIABLE AND SECURE LIVE STREAMING SERVICES
Takirua Tandem Media is the main service provider for local government live streaming. We currently work with Christchurch City Council, Auckland Council and Timaru District Council to livestream their Council and committee meetings and have worked with many other Council's in the past to establish systems, including Wellington, Napier, Taupo and Nelson.
Why should Council’s livestream?
Local government live streaming solutions provide several benefits to both Council’s and the public, including:
Increased Transparency: Livestreaming council meetings increases transparency by allowing the public to see and hear the discussions and decisions being made by their elected officials in real-time.
Improved Accessibility: Livestreaming makes council meetings more accessible to a wider audience, including those who are unable to attend in person due to distance, mobility, or other constraints.
Increased Engagement: Livestreaming council meetings can increase public engagement and participation by providing an easy and convenient way for citizens to stay informed about the decisions being made on their behalf.
Better Record Keeping: Livestreaming provides a permanent record of council meetings, which can be helpful for historical purposes and for resolving disputes or clarifying past decisions.
Cost-Effective: Livestreaming can be a cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods of recording and distributing council meetings, as it eliminates the need for expensive equipment, staff, and distribution channels.
"Live streaming enables our Council to continue to make important decisions, whilst ensuring our community remains engaged and connected."
