What is Livingstone Shire Views?

This is a survey designed to better understand what locals think makes somewhere a good place to live and how well they feel that Council is delivering in that regard.

This survey will not only give Council a sense as to how liveable residents across Livingstone Shire believe their area is, but it will also tell us which individual liveability attributes (e.g. feeling safe, affordable decent housing, access to the natural environment, etc.) need to be maintained or improved to advance the liveability of the area.

What questions will be asked?

The survey uses 16 liveability attributes (e.g. feeling safe, affordable decent housing, access to natural environment, etc.) to understand the community's values, local area experiences, overall liveability and future needs.

It also understands community health and wellbeing, financial circumstances, concerns and ideas for improving quality of life.

Why is Livingstone Shire doing this survey?

This survey will help ensure that our decision-making is focused on the community's needs and their quality of life.
