We value the views and feedback of our community and are committed to continuously improving our services and facilities in line with community needs and expectations.
Every two years, we survey residents from across the region to gauge their satisfaction with our local government services and facilities.
2021 will mark the seventh wave of the biennial survey.
This year, we have once again engaged independent market research consultant Enhance Research to conduct the phone survey.
Enhance Research is Queensland’s largest privately-owned market and social research agency and is celebrating 25 years in operation in 2021.
Based in Brisbane, Enhance Research is a member of the Association of Market & Social Research Organisations (AMSRO) and is also certified ISO 20252 (International Standard for the Market, Opinion and Social Research). Enhance Research staff are members of The Research Society (professional body) and are bound by the Code of Professional Behaviour. Enhance Research respects and upholds respondents’ rights under the Australian Privacy Principles contacted in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and also adheres to the Privacy (Market and Social Research) Code 2014.
Enhance Research undertakes extensive research for a range of commercial and government clients including local, state and federal governments, and is an accredited provider of research to the Queensland Government under QGP0035-16 – Market and Social Research Services.
We know your time is valuable, so this year the survey has been pared back to about 20 minutes.
The content of the survey has also been reviewed and redesigned to ensure we are getting the most useful data possible.
You will be asked to rate your satisfaction with a number of local government services and facilities.
Survey participants are randomly selected, but will have a demographic spread across age, gender and location to ensure results are representative of the region.
The phone survey will commence on 8 March 2021 and will run for four weeks until 1 April 2021.
Call centre hours will be:
Weekdays 10.00 am – 8.00 pm (although mostly from 4pm – earlier times are typically for appointments etc)
Saturdays 10.00 am – 4.00 pm
Sunday (closed)
Typically, calls will occur from 4.00 pm when the majority of people are at home. If it is an inconvenient time for you, please just let the caller know and an appointment can be made for another time.
You can complete the survey online via council’s Have Your Say, Central Highlands platform from 8 March to 1 April 2021.
Results from the survey will help us deliver on our commitment to provide high quality services, infrastructure and facilities across the region.
We will use this information to share with relevant bodies like state government and use it to advocate for better outcomes for our community.
Results will be made public via council’s website.
A wrap up of the 2018 survey results are provided below.
