Community Insights study provides opportunity to share your experience
Published on 31 July 2024
The next round of our new Community Insights study launched this week, helping the City of Whittlesea gain a better understanding of residents’ experiences over time and provide support for future planning.
The study, which consists of three surveys per year, explores various aspects of community life, including wellbeing, liveability and resilience.
After very positive response rates from previous rounds of the study, we are launching our next round of questions to randomly selected residents from Monday 29 July.
The focus topic of this round is Health and Wellbeing, which will ask about place and belonging, healthy lifestyles and behaviours, quality of life, disaster preparedness and personal support. It also includes a section about how you communicate and engage with the City of Whittlesea.
City of Whittlesea CEO Craig Lloyd said the data collected would help Council measure community sentiment on important factors that affect people’s everyday lives.
“The Community Insights study will complement our existing research and data analysis and will help us to build a comprehensive representation of our community,” Craig said.
“In particular, we would like to gain a deeper understanding of where resources are most needed for our communities, by collecting data to identify where Council needs to focus to achieve our community’s vision of a place for all.”
The study is completely voluntary, and residents may be invited to complete a survey via mail or email. All information gathered will be de-identified and combined to produce statistical data for the municipality.
