Every two years the Shire carries out a community survey. In early 2024, the Shire engaged CATALYSE, an independent research company to undertake the survey.

The survey provides the Shire with an opportunity to measure community satisfaction with resources, facilities and services provided by the Shire and to understand and monitor community well-being.

The results will help Council develop a new Council Plan that will determine our plan for the future that truly reflects our community's priorities and delivers on community expectations.
