Our Policies

This document outlines the policies of our mulitple ‘groups’ of online virtual communities on various social media platforms known as, ‘Connecting Aspley’. Our primary goal is to facilitate the building of healthy relationships, inclusivity and community engagement in Aspley and the surrounding suburbs. We aim to share resources and provide connections through advertising local business and social events.

Connecting Aspley is a growing community, so we have done our best to provide a structure in the hope to give everyone the best experience in these groups. Connecting Aspley has several platforms such as the facebook group, the facebook page, twitter & instagram accounts and of course this website. These rules pertain, where applicable and reasonable, to all these accounts.

  1. Following our Values

Connecting Aspley will not tolerate any derogatory language, discrimination, personal attacks or bullying. These behaviours are grounds for immediate removal from the group as they do not align with our values which are:

  • Respect
  • Community
  • Encouragement
  • Opportunity
  • Relationships
  • Grace

Further details on our values can be found at https://libertyenterprises.com.au/our-values/.

2. Business Advertising

a) If you would like to organise paid advertising on Connecting Aspley please visit this link.

b) If you would like to list your business on the Connecting Aspley website business directory it is free and you can start this process by filling out the form here.

c) Once your business is listed on the Connecting Aspley website we will share it with the Connecting Aspley facebook page, instagram and twitter accounts. We will also add your business to the list of businesses featured on the Friday Frenzy promotion.

d) Each Friday we promote local businesses via our facebook group. We call this “Friday Frenzy”. Please feel free to promote your business in the group during Friday Frenzy. Your business ,to qualify for advertising in our group, must be located in the Connecting Aspley approved zone. If your business services the Aspley area, but does not satisfy the outlined criteria in location, we are sorry, you do not qualify for business advertising. Our moderators will approve your business for advertising before your post is shared with our members on the following Friday.

e) Multi-level marketing, pyramid selling, network marketing and referral marketing are not permitted to be promoted on any of the Connecting Aspley platforms, unless by exception when expressly approved by the moderators & administrators of Connecting Aspley

    3.    Event Advertising

For your event to qualify for advertising on our page, you will generally need to be located in the Connecting Aspley approved zone. Exceptions will be made at our admin/moderators at their collective discretion. Please seek advice from our before admin/moderator’s before posting if your event falls outside the criteria.

    4. No Selling, Buying or Swapping

Our group is not for selling or buying or swapping. If you are after this service, we recommend using the facebook group ‘Chermside, Aspley And Surrounding Suburbs Buy, Swap, Sell & Community Help’ found at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/956446804423874/

    5. No Political Or Religious Promoting

As a general rule we do not allow the abrasive promotion of specific religious opinions, religious groups, anti-religious opinions, philosophical manifestos, etc. Similarly with political ideals. This is not the group for that sort of thing. If it’s weird: don’t post it. Keep it socially vanilla. It is okay to make posts about religious & political figures or organisations that are doing something positive for our local community. As long as it’s focussing on the action not the belief system behind it.

6. The Connecting Aspley Zone

The aim is to build a community which is centralised in Aspley. However, it is natural to include the “surrounding suburbs” as connected to the community of Aspley.  Defining what a surrounding suburb is a nebulous definition. After a vote amongst the moderators, it has been determined by consensus that the specific region includes exclusively the following suburbs:

  • Aspley
  • Carseldine
  • Bridgeman Downs
  • Zillmere
  • Fitzgibbon
  • Chermside, excluding Westfield.
  • Chermside West
  • Geebung
  • Virginia
  • Taigum
  • Albany Creek
  • Wavell Heights

7. Other Acceptable Uses Of The CA Facebook Group

  • Posting about Lost/Found Pets
  • Finding out what is going on in Aspley
  • Recommendations about local businesses, organisation, services, etc
  • Posting up local events and activities
  • Sale of school uniforms from Schools in the “CA zone”
