Hi Ian,
We are similar to Michael at Shoalhaven.
We have it run through PML. Positives are the registrations are verified every time we do a notice run so you are confident its going to the right person. Negatives are if we move print house everyone would need to register again.
We have had email for about 2 years and are at 7% uptake
we have had Bpay view nearly twice as long and are at 4% uptake
We also have sms capabilities and 5.1% uptake for that.
We have included flyers about the service with our notice and we have a banner at the bottom of our emails with a hyperlink to the website to register for emailing of notices.
Given the current costs and length of time its taking to deliver mail, its also a benefit for the ratepayer they receive on day of notice release.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards,
Dallas
