Community Satisfaction Survey
On this page
Each year, Local Government Victoria (LGV) coordinates and auspices an annual Community Satisfaction Survey for Victorian councils. The results of core measures are included in Council’s Annual Report each year and on the State Government's Know Your Council website as part of the Local Government Performance Reporting Framework.
We have provided a summary of our results below. The full report is also available for download at the bottom of the page.
Interviews now underway
Independent market research agency, National Field Services is conducting interviews in Mitchell now.
Similar surveys will be undertaken across Victorian councils in the coming months.
If you receive a call, we appreciate you taking the time to assist us with your valuable feedback.
Your details and individual responses are confidential. Council only sees the overall results.
