The City of Melville Community and Business Scorecard Surveys is conducted every two years and invites City residents and businesses to complete a short 15 minute survey to help improve our vision for Melville.
We ask for feedback on our services, infrastructure and facilities so we can identify areas we are performing well in and areas for improvement.
The information we receive assists us in prioritising and potentially reallocating resources to areas of importance, as well as benchmarking against how we are performing in comparison to other local governments.
The 2020 Community and Business Scorecard Surveys were open from Monday, 23 March to Tuesday, 14 April at 5.00pm.
iA random selection of people from the City’s customer database received an email invitation to participate. This was done to ensure demographic representation in the responses collected match the Census demographics of our population.
The City aims to achieve a minimum level of statistical validity for each survey, as per the Auditor General recommendations for statistical validity.
