ABOUT PLACE SCORE AND THIS RESEARCH
Place Score offers two sophisticated data collection tools, Care Factor and Place Experience (PX) Assessments. Like a ‘place census’, Care Factor captures what your community really values, while PX Assessments measure the community’s lived experience.
Together they help you identify what is important, how a place is performing and what the focus of change should be. An attribute with a high Care Factor but a low PX Assessment should be a priority for investment.
There are many benefits in using Place Score for your project research: Community segmentation; geographic and demographic Insights that can be used for multiple projects over a number of years: strategic planning and implementation projects
Quantitative data for evidence based planning to measure the impact of investment over time
Identification of place attributes that the community all cares about as well as potential conflicts to minimise risk
WHERE AND WHEN WAS THIS DATA COLLECTED?
Between 4 February and 6 March 2019 Place Score collected Neighbourhood Care Factor surveys and PX Assessments for the Inner West Council. This data is the basis for your Neighbourhood Community Insights Report.
Surveys were available in: English, Italian, Greek, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE FACTOR SURVEY
Which place attributes are most important to you in your ideal neighbourhood?
- 1805 respondents, with 1701 being local residents
- Respondents were asked ‘What is your small or big idea to make your neighbourhood a better place?’
- 1203 people shared their ideas.
- Online and face-to-face data was collected between 4 February and 6 March 2019.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PX ASSESSMENTS
HOW THE PLACE SCORE SYSTEM WORKS:
Care Factor captures what attributes your community ‘values’...
PX Assessment captures how your community ‘rates’ each attribute...
How is each place attribute impacting your personal enjoyment of your neighbourhood?
- 1091 local residents, workers and visitors completed a Neighbourhood PX Assessment
- Respondents were asked ‘What’s missing in your neighbourhood that would make it a better place to live?’
- 867 people shared their ideas.
- Online and face-to-face data was collected between 4 February and 6 March 2019.
A total of 2,896 responses were collected during the research.
A place attribute with a high Care Factor but a low PX Score should be prioritised.

ABOUT PLACE SCORE AND THIS RESEARCH
STRATEGIC PLANNING USING PLACE SCORE
Place Score provides a rigourous evidence base for decision making by providing four different data sets:
1. CARE FACTOR - what your community thinks is most important in their ‘ideal neighbourhood’. Like a ‘place census’ you can use this data to understand community values in a specific location or for a particular demographic group
2. PX ASSESSMENT - how your community rates the liveability of their current neighbourhood. This measures performance and can be used as a baseline from which to compare the place after investment and over time.
3. PLACE PRIORITIES - by aggregating the Care Factor and the PX Assessment data we can identify what place attributes people both care about and think are performing poorly (priorities), and those that are performing well (retain and protect).
4. OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS - your community’s ideas for changes that will make their lives better. This provides the opportunity to ‘hear the voice of the community’.
Place Score has tailored the Neighbourhood Care Factor and PX Assessment reporting to reflect the requirements of the Greater Sydney Commission and Department of Planning. Place Score’s standardised insights provides a “common language” across the LEP update process, assuring a clear line of sight from the District Plan to the Local Environmental Plan.
This report is designed to assimilate your community’s inputs directly into each of the key areas of the LEP Update to help simplify Council’s task:
• Local Strategic Planning Statement
• Local Character Statement
• LEP key themes (eg Residential)
www.placescore.org
CONNECTING PLACE SCORE TO STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Care Factor and PX Assessment include 50 neighbourhood attributes. Because liveable neighbourhoods are a complex system of the both tangible and intangible, and the private and the public, not all Place Score attributes align directly with the LEP Update process. The following table summarises how Place Score has built the base structure for this report - by coding our attributes against the requirements set out in sample documents and guidelines.

NOTES:
A response to the ‘Infrastructure and Collaboration’ directions from the Greater Sydney Commission’s District Plan has not been included in this report as there was low levels of attribute alignment. Where a Place Score attribute could have been aligned with this direction there was also an overlap with the ‘Productivity’ direction. For the purpose of this report ‘Productivity’ was favoured as the more valuable direction for the community. Local Character Statement categories are based on example reports for St Leonards & Crows Nest and Telopea provided by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.1
Planning Tool Box themes are based upon Place Score attributes and Council preferences.
HOW DO WE COLLECT AND USE THE DATA?
PLACE SCORE COLLECTS THREE DIFFERENT DATA SOURCES:
DATA
CARE
‘Which place attributes are most important to you in your ideal neighbourhood?’ Respondents selected their 3 most important attributes in five categories to reveal what they value.
THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS THE DATA IS REPORTED:
1. Raw data (e.g. Care Factor top 10)
2. Combined Care Factor and PX data (e.g. Liveability priorities)
3. Raw and/or combined data coded against NSW Planning / Greater Sydney Commission (GSC) requirements or a specific topic (e.g. Local Character ‘Place’)
PLACE EXPERIENCE ASSESSMENT (PX)
‘How is each place attribute impacting your personal enjoyment of your neighbourhood?’
Respondents rated the performance of each attribute in five categories in relation to their neighbourhood.
OPEN-ENDED QUESTION (OPENS)
‘What is your big or small idea to make your neighbourhood better for you?’ and ‘What’s missing in your neighbourhood that would make it a better place to live?
Respondents were given 25 words to express their ideas for each question, responses have been classified according different themes by Place Score.

Notes:
Community Priorities are determined by aggregating the Neighbourhood Care Factor and PX Assessment results; high Care Factor ranking + low PX Assessment rating = Community Priority. There are no attributes associated with Infrastructure and Collaboration as defined in the District Plan. ‘No community priority’ means that your community did not identify a Place Score attribute as being a priority within that direction. For more details regarding the methodology behind these results follow this link
LSPS VISION DIRECTIONS
A VISION FOR INNER WEST NEIGHBOURHOODS
The Local Strategic Planning Statement needs to capture the future desired state of your local government area and high level directions that will deliver the District Plan objectives. These three key directions, as identified through the Place Score research summarising inputs from 2792 responses, can provide the foundation for the neighbourhood elements of the vision in the LSPS.
LGA SUCCESS FACTORS: LGA PRIORITIES FOR LIVEABILITY: COMMUNITY IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE:
What is valued by the community now and positively impacting liveability:
Neighbourhood centres that are close to residential areas and provide a choice of amenity and local business to service day to day needs; both contributing to a sense of safety for all
What is valued by the community now and negatively impacting liveability:
The key themes summarised from the open ended questions:
Great green spaces (that are well maintained) and a better walking and cycling network to connect places and increase opportunities for social connections
“The diversity of small local businesses are amazing! I’d love it if a bookshop was added to the mix, or a movie theatre!“
FEMALE, 25-34 YEARS OLD
• Protect fine grain retailers by limiting amalgamation opportunities in traditional main street environments
• Ensure densifying residential areas are supported by retail clusters that are connected by safe and comfortable walking paths
“Quality public space free from traffic noise, pollution. Clean, modern space, clean streets, easily walkable.“
FEMALE, 35-44 YEARS OLD
• Consider materials that look clean (not grey) and are easy to maintain over time
• Improvements around the quality and maintenance of footpaths should be considered - keep the needs of a wheelchair or pram user in mind
• Ensure that night-time activities are provided within walking distance of homes, but manage noise and visitor movement
“More street tree shade, more trees in parks, a greater sense of safety cycling on the road, more neighbourly small events in parks.“
FEMALE, 35-44 YEARS OLD.
• Access to well maintained open space and the natural environment is highly valued
• Ensuring there are safe spaces for community gatherings, activities and connections is important
• Retail and leisure, local businesses and commercial occupancy are also a concern
Notes:
The condition and quality of public spaces and natural elements, active and public modes of transportation and the night-time economy could all be improvedQuotes sourced from your community ideas for change. Bullet point considerations have been developed by Place Score as examples of actions that can work towards delivering the proposed vision elements.
LGA STRENGTHS AND PRIORITIES
These tables and graph illustrate your neighbourhood strengths, liveability improvement priorities and secondary priorities.
STRENGTHS should be celebrated and protected.
LIVEABILITY IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES identify the aspects of your neighbourhood that are important to people but are currently under-performing. Improving these attributes will have the most significant impact on your community.
SECONDARY PRIORITIES identify attributes to look-out for, they are negatively affecting liveability and can become more significant issues if more people start caring about them.
CF NEIGHBOURHOOD STRENGTHS

YOUR LGA DATA AT A GLANCE
Care Factor requires respondents to prioritise different aspects of a neighbourhood to identify what they personally care the most about.
Overall, most people in your LGA selected the following Place Attributes:
#1 General condition of public open space (street trees, footpaths, parks etc.)
#2 Access to neighbourhood amenities (cafes, shops, health and wellness services etc.)
#3
Local businesses that provide for daily needs (grocery stores, pharmacy, banks etc.)
#4
Access and safety of walking, cycling and/or public transport (signage, paths, lighting etc.)
#5
Elements of natural environment (natural features, views, vegetation, topography, water, wildlife etc.)
A PX Assessment asks respondents to rate how different aspects of their current neighbourhood are impacting their ‘lived place experience’, resulting in a PX Score that captures neighbourhood liveability. Here is how community rated the liveability of their current neighbourhoods:
Notes: Full data and breakdowns are available in the next sections. Care Factor percentages are based on the percentage of respondents that selected an attribute (n=1701). PX Scores vary between 0 and 100. Scores above 70 are very good, 50-70 there is room for significant improvement, <50 urgent investment required.Map tiles by Stamen Design, under CC BY 3.0.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLACE VALUES
YOUR COMMUNITY VALUES NEIGHBOURHOODS THAT ARE:
WELL MAINTAINED
Your community highly values the condition of public open spaces, so much so that it is the number one Care Factor in every surveyed neighbourhoods but Haberfield. The quality of public spaces (footpaths, street trees, parks) was also selected by many members of your community as being important to them.
HUMAN SCALED
Your community’s ideal neighbourhood offers safe and easy active transport options that connect their residence to nearby amenities, every day shops or parks.
LANDSCAPED AND GREEN
Your community cares about their neighbourhood offering natural features, views, vegetation and quality landscaping.
VIBRANT AND SAFE
Your community values having things to do in the evening (bars, dining, cinema, live music etc.), but also cares about their neighbourhood providing a feeling of safety for all, during both day and night.
DEMOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCES IN NEIGHBOURHOOD VALUES
25-44 YEARS
30% of people aged 25-44 care about ‘Spaces suitable for play (from toddlers to teens)’ compared to only 13% of people aged 45-64.

36% of people aged 45-64 care about ‘Local history, historic buildings or features’ compared to only 23% of people aged 25-44
AUSTRALIAN BORN 46% of people born in Australia care about ‘Protection of the natural environment’ compared to only 36% of people born in United Kingdom.
UK BORN 49% of people born in United Kingdom care about 'Overall visual character of the neighbourhood' compared to only 38% of people born in Australia.
MEN 35% of Men care about ‘Evidence of recent public investment (roads, parks, schools etc.)’ compared to only 27% of Women.
WOMEN 37% of Women care about ‘Evidence of community activity (volunteering, gardening, art, community-organised events etc.)’ compared to only 25% of Men.
Differences: While there are some minor differences between demographics, most of the Care Factor differences are between different neighbourhoods.

Notes:
The top row of this table identifies your LGA’s top 10 Care Factors. The rows below it illustrate the rank each of the LGA’s top 10 CF holds in each neighbourhood. The blue column on the right identifies attributes that are in a neighbourhood’s top 10 CF but are not in the LGA’s top 10 CF.
NEIGHBOURHOOD LIVEABILITY
THE PX SCORE IS A NUMBER BETWEEN ZERO AND 100 THAT MEASURES YOUR COMMUNITY’S LIVED PLACE EXPERIENCE. IT ALLOWS YOU TO IDENTIFY WHAT ATTRIBUTES ARE CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY TO HOW LIVEABLE A NEIGHBOURHOOD IS, PROVIDING YOU WITH AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR PRIORITISING INVESTMENT.
NEIGHBOURHOOD LIVEABILITY
YOUR COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED THEIR NEIGHBOURHOODS AS:
NOT FAR OFF GREAT
With an average PX score of 69, your community perceives there is some room for improvement when it comes to how liveable their neighbourhood is.
NOT EQUAL
With Annandale and Balmain scoring a high 74/100 and Sydenham-Tempe-St Peter scoring low 58/100, your community identified disparities in terms of liveability across your LGA.
WELL CONNECTED
Overall, your neighbourhoods are perceived as well connected to other suburbs and as offering great access to local amenities.
EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN
Your community perceives that the current range of housing prices and tenures is contributing negatively to the liveability of their neighbourhoods.
NEITHER GREEN OR CAR FRIENDLY
‘Sustainable urban design (water sensitive design, transport-oriented design, sustainable building design, density etc.) ’ and ‘Ease of driving and parking ’ are perceived as performing poorly.
A PX Assessment asks respondents to rate how different aspects of their current neighbourhood are impacting their ‘lived place experience’, resulting in a PX Score that captures neighbourhood liveability.

LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENT
THIS SECTION PROVIDES KEY COMMUNITY INSIGHTS TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENT (LSPS)
LSPS INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS A LSPS?
Exert from: ‘Local Strategic Planning Statements - Guidelines for Councils’ ‘Local strategic planning statements will be a pivotal tool for local strategic planning in NSW. They will inform local statutory plans and development controls, and give effect to regional and district plans.
The LSPS can also identify where further strategic planning effort may be needed. The statements will act as a unifying document. Drawing together and summarising planning priorities identified through State, regional, district and local strategic work. They provide the local context and local-scale expression of actions and priorities from these plans.’
LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENTS (LSPS) WILL SET OUT:
• the 20-year vision for land use in the local area
• the special characteristics which contribute to local identity
• shared community values to be maintained and enhanced
• how growth and change will be managed into the future.
HOW PLACE SCORE HELPS INFORM YOUR LSPS
Councils are encouraged to access existing documents and community inputs to inform the development of the LSPS.
Place Score’s unique community insights can be used to support this process through the provision of data and community priorities that contribute to:
ALIGNMENT WITH DISTRICT PLAN
Explanation around how the results align with the greater Sydney Commission’s District Plan for your area
VISION DIRECTIONS
LGA-wide directions that capture the key community values and priorities
CONTEXT
Providing community values regarding economic, social and environmental matters using Neighbourhood Care Factor data that captures what the majority of the community ranks as important in their ideal neighbourhood
PLANNING PRIORITIES
Providing community priorities for neighbourhood livability by aggregating Neighbourhood Care Factor and PX Assessment data at the LGA level to identify the liveability attributes that are both most important but poorest performing.
COMMUNITY IDEAS REGARDING CHANGE
Your community’s ideas regarding development and change have been isolated - providing you with data that might not come up in other sections of this report.

Neighbourhood centres that are close to residential areas and provide a choice of amenity and local business to service day to day needs; both contributing to a sense of safety for all
What is valued by the community now and negatively impacting liveability:
The key themes summarised from the open ended questions:
Great green spaces (that are well maintained) and a better walking and cycling network to connect places and increase opportunities for social connections
“The diversity of small local businesses are amazing! I’d love it if a bookshop was added to the mix, or a movie theatre!“
FEMALE, 25-34 YEARS OLD
• Protect fine grain retailers by limiting amalgamation opportunities in traditional main street environments
• Ensure densifying residential areas are supported by retail clusters that are connected by safe and comfortable walking paths
“Quality public space free from traffic noise, pollution. Clean, modern space, clean streets, easily walkable.“
FEMALE, 35-44 YEARS OLD
• Consider materials that look clean (not grey) and are easy to maintain over time
• Improvements around the quality and maintenance of footpaths should be considered - keep the needs of a wheelchair or pram user in mind
• Ensure that night-time activities are provided within walking distance of homes, but manage noise and visitor movement
“More street tree shade, more trees in parks, a greater sense of safety cycling on the road, more neighbourly small events in parks.“
FEMALE, 35-44 YEARS OLD.
• Access to well maintained open space and the natural environment is highly valued
• Ensuring there are safe spaces for community gatherings, activities and connections is important
• Retail and leisure, local businesses and commercial occupancy are also a concern
Notes:
The condition and quality of public spaces and natural elements, active and public modes of transportation and the night-time economy could all be improvedQuotes sourced from your community ideas for change. Bullet point considerations have been developed by Place Score as examples of actions that can work towards delivering the proposed vision elements.

PLANNING TOOL BOX
HOW TO READ YOUR RESULTS
The planning tool box highlights what you should retain and protect as well as the level of investment needed to improve different aspects of liveability. The core principle is that you should invest in improving attributes with a high Care Factor ranking and a low PX Score as, once improved, they will have the most significant impact on liveability. This table identifies how to read the different level of priority presented in the following pages:
Protect These attributes currently contribute the most to the liveability of your neighbourhoods. These attributes have a high Care Factor Ranking (valued by the most people in your community) and have a high PX Score (performing well)
INVESTMENT PRIORITY
High Investing in these attributes will contribute the most to improve the liveability of your neighbourhoods. These attributes have a high Care Factor Ranking (valued by the most people in your community) and have low PX Score (NOT performing well)
Medium Investing in these attributes will contribute to improve the liveability of your neighbourhoods. These attributes are generally in the top half of the Care Factor rankings and have a low PX Score (NOT performing well)
Low Investing in these attributes will slightly contribute to improve the liveability of your neighbourhoods. These attributes are generally in the bottom half of the Care Factor Ranking (selected by the least number of people in your community) and have a low PX Score (NOT performing well)
No No additional investment is needed for these attributes as they are currently over-performing. These attributes have a low Care Factor Ranking (selected by the least number people in your community) and have a high PX Score (performing well)

ECONOMY AND CENTRES DIRECTIONS:
THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND CENTRES ARE CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO THE LIVEABILITY OF MOST NEIGHBOURHOODS - ALTHOUGH THE NIGHT TIME ECONOMY COULD BE IMPROVED IN SOME AREAS
However, the communities of both Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters and Lewisham-Petersham would value improvements in their centres.
NEIGHBOURHOOD AMENITIES
AND ‘EVERYDAY’ BUSINESSES ARE CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO LIVEABILITY AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED
- ‘Access to neighbourhood amenities (cafes, shops, health and wellness services etc.) ’ is contributing highly to liveability in every neighbourhood but Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters.
- Investing in neighbourhood amenities in Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters would highly improve the neighbourhood’s liveability.

THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT REGARDING:
68/100
‘ Things to do in the evening (bars, dining, cinema, live music etc.)’

MOVEMENT DIRECTIONS:
YOUR NEIGHBOURHOODS ARE WELL CONNECTED TO DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT CENTRES. HOWEVER, IMPROVING ACTIVE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT WOULD HIGHLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE LIVEABILITY OF MANY NEIGHBOURHOODS
Note that improving the ease of driving and parking is a low priority across your LGA.
THE PROXIMITY AND EASE OF ACCESS OF OTHER NEIGHBOURHOODS, SHOPS OR EMPLOYMENT CENTRES IS CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO LIVEABILITY AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED
- ‘Connectivity (proximity to other neighbourhoods, employment centres, shops etc.) ’ is contributing highly to liveability in the majority of your neighbourhoods.
- No additional investments are needed in Annandale, Balmain and Surrounds, Haberfield and Marrickville.
- It is best performing in NewtownEnmore, where it was scored 88/100.
WHAT DO WE ALL CARE ABOUT?
There are four movement attributes out of which three are in your top 30 Care Factors:
• # 4/50 Access and safety of walking, cycling and/or public transport
• # 8/50 Walking/jogging/bike paths that connect housing to communal amenity
• #12/50 Connectivity
EASY AND SAFE ACTIVE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT ARE YOUR HIGHEST INVESTMENT PRIORITY
- Investments in ‘Access and safety of walking, cycling and/or public transport (signage, paths, lighting etc.)’ will contribute highly to liveability in Ashfield and Surrounds,Haberfield, Leichhardt, Lewisham-Petersham, Newtown-Enmore, StandmoreCamperdown and Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters.
- Investments in ‘Walking/jogging/ bike paths that connect housing to communal amenity (shops, parks etc.)’ will highly contribute to liveability in Ashfield and Surrounds, Dullwich Hill, Lewisham-Petersham, NewtownEnmore, Stanmore-Camperdown and Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters.
- Both attributes should be protected in other neighbourhoods.
IMPROVING CAR ACCESSIBILITY AND PARKING IS YOUR COMMUNITY’S LAST MOVEMENT PRIORITY
- ‘Ease of driving and parking ’ is performing poorly 53/100) but has a low Care Factor rank of #38/50.
- Improving the ease of driving is a low investment priority across your LGA.

PUBLIC SPACES DIRECTIONS:
THE QUALITY AND CONDITION OF PUBLIC SPACES SHOULD BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY - WHILE THE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SPACE AND PHYSICAL COMFORT COULD BE IMPROVED IN SOME NEIGHBOURHOODS
With a few exceptions the amount of places to sit or dedicated to community activities or special interests, is performing well and should not be a priority.
PLACES TO SIT OR DEDICATED TO COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES OR SPECIAL INTERESTS ARE GENERALLY PERFORMING WELL BUT COULD BE IMPROVED IN SOME NEIGHBOURHOODS
- Investments in ‘ Spaces suitable for specific activities or special interests (entertainment, exercise, dog park, BBQs etc.) ’ would improve liveability in Ashfield and Surrounds and Summer Hill.
- Investments in ‘ Spaces for group or community activities and/or gatherings (sports, picnics, performances etc.) ’ would improve liveability in Ashfield and Surrounds.
IMPROVING THE QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC SPACES IS A HIGH PRIORITY IN MOST NEIGHBOURHOODS
- Investments in the ‘Quality of public space (footpaths, verges, parks etc.)’ will contribute highly to liveability in every neighbourhood but Annandale and Haberfield.
- Investments in the ‘General condition of public open space (street trees, footpaths, parks etc.)’ will contribute highly to liveability in every neighbourhood but Annandale
- Both attributes are performing well and should be protected in Annandale.
IMPROVING THE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SPACES AND PHYSICAL COMFORT WOULD IMPROVE LIVEABILITY IN SOME AREAS
- Improving the ‘Amount of public space (footpaths, verges, parks etc.) ’ is a high priority in Marrickville and Summer Hill, and a medium priority in Ashfield and Surrounds, Lewisham-Petersham, Newtown-Enmore and SydenhamTempe-St Peters.
- Improving ‘Physical comfort (including noise, smells, temperature etc.) ’ is a medium priority in Ashfield and Surrounds, Rozelle-Lilyfield, Summer Hill and Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters.

INCREASING THE RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES AND SIZES IS NOT A TOP PRIORITY FOR YOUR COMMUNITY - BUT PUBLIC INVESTMENTS IN THE BUILT FORM WOULD IMPROVE LIVEABILITY ACROSS YOUR LGA
Improvement regarding the quality of buildings would be appreciated in Dulwich Hill and Leichhard.
THE DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES IS OVER-PERFORMING EVERYWHERE BUT IN ASHFIELD AND SURROUNDS AND MARRICKVILLE
- Investments in the ‘Range of housing types and sizes (houses, terraces, flats; number of bedrooms etc.) ’ would slightly improve liveability in Ashfield and Surrounds and Marrickville.
- No additional investments are needed in every other neighbourhood.
IMPROVING THE PERCEPTION OF PUBLIC INVESTMENTS WOULD IMPROVE LIVEABILITY
ACROSS YOUR LGA
- Investments in ‘Evidence of recent public investment (roads, parks, schools etc.)’ is a medium priority in every neighbourhood except SydenhamTempe-St Peters.
- While it is performing the poorest in Sydenham-Tempe-St Peters (42/100), fewer people selected it as being important to them, making it a low priority for the area.
INVESTMENTS IN HOUSING PRICES AND TENURES WOULD HAVE A SMALL IMPACT ON LIVEABILITY ACROSS YOUR LGA
- Investments in the ‘Range of housing prices and tenures (low to high $, buy or rent etc.) ’ is a low priority across your LGA.
- Overall, housing prices and tenures is performing poorly (51/100) but has a low Care Factor rank of # 45/50.
