THE City of Whittlesea is inviting residents to share their thoughts through two separate surveys that are currently under way, each designed to support better planning, services and decision-making for the community.
Some residents may receive an invitation by email or letter to take part in the Community Insights Study, an ongoing research program that helps council better understand community experiences.
The Community Insights Study includes three annual surveys, with each focusing on different aspects of life in the City of Whittlesea. The current survey explores local transport and commuting habits, community connections, and how safe people feel in their neighbourhoods.
The survey closes on Sunday, March 22.
The City of Whittlesea is also conducting its annual Community Satisfaction Survey, which all Victorian councils are required to undertake.
This survey focuses on how residents feel about current council services and facilities. It helps measure council’s performance over time and in comparison with other councils across Victoria.
During March, some residents may receive a phone call inviting them to participate. Calls will be made by TKW Research, on behalf of independent market research agency Klein Research, and may come from a mobile number. TKW Research will identify themselves at the beginning and end of each call.
Klein Research will also use social media to help recruit participants.
