Help shape the City of Whittlesea’s future – your insights matter
Published on 02 May 2025
The City of Whittlesea is inviting randomly selected residents to take part in the latest round of its Community Insights Study - a key initiative that helps shape council plans, policies and services with insights from the people who live in our community.
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.
If you’re selected, completing the survey takes just 12 minutes but your contribution will be long-lasting.
Households randomly selected to take part will receive an invitation via mail or email. The survey is open until Sunday, 1 June 2025.
Quote from City of Whittlesea Mayor, Councillor Martin Taylor:
"Listening to our community is not just something we do from time to time, it is one of our core values and central to how we lead and serve. 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.
By contributing to this important study, you are helping us create a completer and more accurate picture of life across our city, from how people move around, to how safe they feel, to how connected and supported they are in their daily lives.
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.
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."
