The Annual Community Satisfaction Survey is a state-wide initiative conducted across all Victorian councils to assess customer satisfaction with local government services. This survey provides valuable insights into how residents perceive various service areas, helping councils benchmark their performance and identify areas for improvement.
The survey is conducted by independent research company Klein Research with their fieldwork partner TKW Research and gathers feedback from a representative sample of more than 800 residents randomly selected and invited to participate in the online survey. Council is required by legislation to provide data from this survey to inform the Local Government Performance Reporting Framework (LGPRF).
All responses remain anonymous and the survey only takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your feedback helps shape the future of services in the City of Whittlesea.
We’re excited to announce that our annual community satisfaction survey is live now and will continue till mid-April.
Participants will either receive a phone call from TKW Research or see an invite to participate on social media.
