Community Surveys
Council's Community Satisfaction Survey
Council undertakes a survey of the community every two year seeking to identify community views on services that Council provides. The community is asked to both rate the importance of these services, and Council's performance in delivering these services.
State Government Annual Community Satisfaction Survey.
The State Government conducts a statewide survey to enable the government to gain a broad understanding of the performance of each municipality. The results are collated, not only for each municipality, the state as a whole, but also in ‘like' municipal groups.
Outcomes of the surveys are presented to the Minister for Local Government, and then released on a confidential basis to each municipality.
Community Planning
Swan Hill Rural City Council supports and fosters community engagement and participation on local issues, thoughts, ideas, aspirations and projects that are seen by residents to be important for the betterment and future of a town and district within the minicipality.
Council's Community Planning Officer has worked closely with eleven communities throughout the municipality to develop their own individual community plans.
Through Navigating Our Future, Council's Community Planning Officer will continue to support local people to implement projects identified in their Community Plans.
