Community Satisfaction Survey

To continue providing the service our community needs, it’s important that we ask our community how we are going. 

Each year, Glenelg Shire Council participates in the Local Government Victoria led, Community Satisfaction Survey program. 

In each quarter of the year, JWS Research on behalf of Local Government Victoria, interview a random sample of adult Glenelg Shire residents and ask them about their satisfaction with the services Council provides, in the following areas:  

  • Overall performance
  • Community consultation and engagement  
  • Lobbying on behalf of the community
  • Decisions made in the interest of the community  
  • Condition of sealed local roads in your area
  • Contact customer service  
  • Overall Council direction

The survey helps Council identify which of its services or activities need to be improved. Council is also able to compare its performance with the average for other regional Councils.

The survey is conducted by an independent research company which randomly selects residents to interview.
