  • Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey April 2014
    2014 Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey April 2014 Prepared for: Wanganui District Council Prepared by: Versus Research EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Versus Research was commissioned by Wanganui District Council (Council) to conduct Council’s annual Community Views Survey (CVS). This survey identifies the perceptions that residents of Wanganui District (residents) have on a wide range of measures, including the services and facilities provided by Council. Versus Research also conducted Council’s CVS in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Interviewing for the CVS 2014 was carried out via telephone1, consistent with previous years, between the 1st and the 16th of April. The final sample size was n=411 which gives a maximum margin of error of +/- 4.83 per cent at the 95 per cent confidence interval. The findings are primarily analysed by suburb and where relevant, by socio-economic groups. The results are compared to the CVS conducted in 2013 (n=400), 2012 (n=400), 2011 (n=418), and 2010 (n=418). The CVS this year, as with previous years, asked residents about their: Participation in recreational and cultural activities. Preparedness for an emergency. Perceptions towards Wanganui Airport. Feelings of safety in the CBD and at home. Opinions on the quality of life in Wanganui and intentions to move from Wanganui. Satisfaction with a range of Council facilities and services. Community wellbeing and sense of belonging. Opinions on Council’s governance on a range of measures. Awareness of, and perceptions towards, the Rural Community Board (rural residents only). The most popular recreational activities identified by Wanganui residents were similar to 2013: visiting a beach (82%), using the Whanganui Riverbank Walkway (78%), using or visiting a Premier Park (78%), and using or visiting a neighbourhood park (76%).
