Central Coast Wellbeing Survey

Central Coast Wellbeing Survey

Community consultation now open

We are conducting a Central Coast-wide survey to understand our community’s perception of their own wellbeing and quality of life. The survey covers the following topics:

  • Your neighbourhood
  • How connected and supported you feel
  • Access to services
  • Safety in your area
  • How you enjoy living, playing, and growing on the Central Coast.

Following major events such as the global pandemic and natural disasters in addition to other factors like the rising cost of living, we are wishing to establish a baseline of how our community thinks and feels about living in the Local Government Area (LGA). This will allow us to compare future results and highlight the changing needs of our community while finding links to the Community Strategic Plan.

Have your say

We are inviting you to complete the Central Coast Wellbeing Survey between Monday 8 April and 10 May 2024.

​​You can ask for assistance or accessibility support to complete the survey by contacting us at engageme@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au or calling us on 4306 7900.

FAQs

What is a Wellbeing Survey?

Central Coast Council is conducting a Local Government Area (LGA) wide survey to understand our community’s perception of their own wellbeing and quality of life here on the Central Coast. The survey should take you around 10-15 minutes to complete.

The survey covers the following topics:

  • Your neighbourhood
  • How connected and supported you feel
  • Access to services
  • Safety in your area
  • How you enjoy living, playing, and growing on the Central Coast.
Why is it happening?

Following the global pandemic and the rising cost of living, Central Coast Council is keen to establish a baseline of how our community thinks and feels about living in the LGA.

This is something other councils also conduct on a yearly basis to see how their community is going and its links with the Community Strategic Plan.

What does the survey involve?

The survey can be completed online by clicking on the "Have your say" button. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

This survey touches on sensitive topics, so if this raises personal concerns, people are advised to reach out to available support services.  Council’s ‘where to find help’ webpage has some contact information for local health and wellbeing services. 

What is my feedback going to contribute to?

Central Coast Council is pivotal in delivering and advocating for services, infrastructure and events that connect our communities and make the Central Coast a great place to live. The results from this survey will highlight where we need to focus our efforts in terms of service delivery improvement and/or advocacy to other tiers of government and develop strategic documents to address problems.

By partaking in this survey, you are helping Central Coast Council to establish a benchmark of our community wellbeing and quality of life, which will then be used as a baseline going forward. All responses will be anonymous and will not be traced back to you.

What if I don't have access to online facilities?

Residents without access to online facilities, have an option to participate in the survey by phone or by filling in a paper survey.  Find out more, by contacting Council’s Customer Service on 4306 7900

Is the survey anonymous?

Responses will remain anonymous, and participants do not need to enter any identifying personal details. Demographic data such as your age, gender and suburb help to ensure that the thoughts and feelings of a good mix of people on the Central Coast are captured.
