Geelong Community Survey
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TBL6F3Y
A group of Geelong and Bellarine residents has created a short survey to hear your feedback about the progress of the City of Greater Geelong across a range of issues, especially in relation to Council’s Clever and Creative Vision. The aim of the survey is to gather and present the community’s priorities and concerns to all candidates nominating for the upcoming Council elections in October.
Results of the survey will be shared with everyone who completes the survey and then, in October, a scorecard of all election candidates assessed against the community’s priorities as identified by the survey will be sent to you as well.
Please have your say. This is a great way for your views to be shared with current Councillors and election candidates to show them what the community wants them to focus on. And it will be an important means to help assess which candidates will act on the community’s top priorities.
