What is resident research used for?
Councils and community organisations use resident research to understand local priorities, track satisfaction, guide planning, and make better-informed decisions that reflect the needs of different communities.
How do you make sure residents from all backgrounds are heard?
We use inclusive methods like phone and online surveys, postal options, and face-to-face outreach to ensure feedback reflects the diversity of your population, including groups who are often underrepresented.
What kinds of questions should we ask residents?
That depends on your goals, but we often explore perceptions of council performance, satisfaction with services, local issues, community wellbeing, and trust in decision-making.
How often should we run resident surveys?
More councils are moving toward more frequent, smaller-scale surveys to stay closer to resident needs.
While annual or biennial surveys are still common, a regular pulse approach can help you respond faster and track changes over time. We’ll help you find the right rhythm for your goals and decision-making cycles.

Can you help with survey design and reporting?
Absolutely. We handle everything from questionnaire development to fieldwork, analysis, and reporting. You’ll get clear insights, visual summaries, interactive online reporting, and tailored recommendations to support internal use or public reporting.
