Reporting back to the Community

Indicators

The Community Strategic Plan 2018-2028 includes ‘Headline and Community Indicators’ which support Council’s process of engaging with and reporting back to the community. This End of Term Report tells you about the changes in these indicators. Many of them relate to your satisfaction with the community indicators. These are reported in the 2020 Quality of Life and Asset Management Survey. Other indicators are monitored through Council’s Annual Reports. A few indicators are monitored through the five-yearly Census. The next Census will be the August 2021 Census which will be reported when its results become available in 2022.

Indicator Trend Meaning

Increase / cannot go higher (more than 1% change in the desired direction) No change from 2018 (no more than 1% change)

Decrease (more than 1% change not in the desired direction) NB. The Indicator Trend icons symbolised in the tables below are merely to show the prevailing direction. With both the 2017 and 2020 survey results there is an implied margin of error of +/- 4% at a 95% confidence level. This means that every time the survey is repeated using the same techniques, 95% of the time the results will be within the 4 percentage points interval.

Focus Areas

This report also tells you about how Council and the community working together have delivered change in identified ‘focus areas’ in the Community Strategic Plan as well as projects overseen by other levels of government or organisations.
