As part of our commitment to improving our services for the Nillumbik community, Council's annual community survey will start on Saturday 3 February.
Throughout the month, representatives from independent research firm Metropolis Research will be door-knocking households, conducting face-to-face interviews with 500 randomly selected Nillumbik residents.
The annual survey, which has been conducted in Nillumbik since 2011, is confidential and the questions will cover a broad range of topics, providing important feedback to Council.
The results of this survey are critical as they inform our efforts to continually improve our service delivery to the community.
If you are contacted, we would really appreciate you taking the time to speak with the Metropolis Research representative.
Results from the survey will be released in late April 2024. The results of previous surveys are available at nillumbik.vic.gov.au/community-survey
Residents can contact our Customer Service Team on 9433 3111 during business hours with any questions or to check if the survey is genuine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the survey about?
The Victorian Government requires all councils in Victoria to have their performance measured in a community satisfaction survey. You can find out more about this on the Local Government Victoria website -localgovernment.vic.gov.au/strengthening-councils/performance-reporting. The survey provides Council with a range of information on community satisfaction, sentiment, feel and involvement in Council's operations, services, programs and facilities.
Why have you hired Metropolis Research to do this survey? Why don't you do it yourself?
To meet Victorian Government requirements, the survey must be conducted by an accredited social research company. This ensures it is done correctly and without bias. Five hundred interviews are being conducted with Nillumbik residents.
How can I validate the survey is genuine?
Please contact Council via:
• Customer Service on 9433 3111 during business hours.
• The Community Survey page on our website – nillumbik.vic.gov.au/community-survey
Is this a scam?
No. Metropolis Research, an accredited social research company, is undertaking the survey on behalf of Nillumbik Shire Council.
