Have your say on Melton

Melton council residents might hear a knock at their door from late May onwards as part of a survey covering satisfaction of council services and facilities.

Professional field researchers will randomly select homes across the municipality to ask residents about a range of topics, including their satisfaction with local planning and council programs, the sense of community in Melton council, and local issues.

A total of 800 homes will be involved in the survey.

This data will then inform the council’s ongoing services by helping to reveal where residents’ needs are being met, and where they are not.

Residents who have been selected for the survey can expect a knock on their door between Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, June 8 for the approximately 15-minute survey.

Responses are confidential.

Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said it is important that the council hears from the community to understand if it is meeting its needs and expectations in terms of service delivery.

“The survey helps [Melton council] to gain insight into the community’s satisfaction with council services and identify areas that may need improvement,” Cr Abboushi said.

“We look forward to hearing what our community thinks council is doing well, and anything they’d like to see changed in the future.”

The field researchers will carry photo identification.
