THE City of Whittlesea is inviting randomly selected residents to take part in the latest round of its Community Insights Study – an initiative that helps shape council plans, policies and services with insights from the people who live in our community.
City of Whittlesea Mayor, Councillor Martin Taylor said that listening to the community is one of Council’s core values and central to how it leads and serves.
“At the City of Whittlesea, we believe that the best decisions are made when they are informed by the lived experiences, diverse perspectives, and genuine feedback of our residents,” Cr Taylor said.
“Every voice matters. Whether you are a commuter, a parent, a young person, a senior, a local business owner, or someone new to the area, your experiences and insights will help shape the future direction of our city,” he added.
The study is conducted three times each year through surveys that gather valuable feedback on key aspects of living local in the City of Whittlesea, including transport, neighbourhood connection, community participation, safety, health and wellbeing. The insights gained provide a vital snapshot of residents’ evolving needs and help Council make informed decisions that reflect current community experiences.
The latest survey explores how residents engage in local decision-making, what matters most to them and their participation in events, activities and local entertainment.
Households randomly selected to take part will receive an invitation via mail or email. The survey is open until Sunday, June 1, 2025. To learn more or explore past results, visit www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/communityinsights.
“I encourage everyone to take part. Your input is invaluable in helping us build a more inclusive, responsive, and thriving community, one where every person feels heard, respected, and represented,” Cr Taylor said.
