Community Perception Scorecard
MARKYT Community Scorecard
The Community Perception Scorecard comes out every two years. It's your chance to tell Council what you want and need, now and in the future. The Scorecard collects feedback on services and facilities in the Shire, and even on matters the Shire can't control but can support. Councillors and Shire officers use the information you give us to guide their decisions and plans. We really value your opinions and comments because they help shape our future.
Filling out the Scorecard is a great way to make your voice heard and influence local decisions. Your feedback helps improve the services and facilities in our Shire to meet everyone's needs. Plus, it's a chance to help plan and develop our area!
With the 2025 MARKYT Community Scorecard coming soon, we are showing what Council and the Shire have done based on your feedback from the 2023 Scorecard with a series of Latest News stories, and other information on social media.
