Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey May 2013 2013 Wanganui District Council 0251659264 Community Views Survey May 2013 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 services and facilities provided by Council. Versus Research also conducted Council’s CVS in 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Interviewing for the CVS 2013 was carried out via telephone1, consistent with previous years, between the 8th and the 24th of April. The final sample size was n=400 which gives a maximum margin of error of +/- 4.79 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 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). Engagement with recreational activities shows similar results to last year, with the most popular recreational activities remaining the same: visiting a beach (76%); using the Whanganui Riverbank Walkway (71%); visiting a premier park (70%); and visiting a neighbourhood park (69%). However, this year, significant decreases in usage are noted for: using the Whanganui Riverbank Walkway (71% c.f. 2012, 78%), visiting a neighbourhood park (69% c.f. 2012, 77%), using other walkways around the city (60% c.f. 2012, 68%) and using or visiting sports grounds (55% c.f. 2012, 64%). Correspondingly, there has been an increase in the proportion of residents who do not engage in any recreational activities (7% c.f. 2012, 3%). The top three cultural activities remain the same as last year: using the libraries (62%); being actively involved in a community organization (45%) and visiting the regional museum (42%). The undertaking of activities is consistent with last year’s results with the only exclusion being an increase in theatre attendance (31% c.f. 2012, 24%). Results for emergency preparedness are mostly on par with 2012 results. Sixty-two per cent of residents have discussed an emergency response plan with their household, a three per cent (not statistically significant) increase from last year. Just over half (52%) of residents have an emergency survival kit and nearly all (90%) of these kits are stocked with food for at least three days, 88 per cent have a first aid kit, 79 per cent have a battery powered torch and 34 per cent contain important personal documents. There has been an increase in those who have checked their kit in the last month (48% c.f. 2012, 40%) and a decrease in those who have checked it three months ago (11% c.f. 2012, 24%). Levels of preparedness and duration of survival without outside assistance are similar to last year’s results. Perceptions of safety are largely consistent with last year’s results: nearly all residents feel safe in their home during the day (96%) and evening (95%), in addition to feeling safe in the CBD during the day (94%). Fifty per cent of residents 1 Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing 1 | P a g e report that they feel safe in the CBD in the evening, consistent with last year’s results (45%). This year, there has been a significant decrease in those who feel that their property is safe while they are away from home (87% c.f. 2012, 92%). There has been a shift in rationale behind feeling unsafe, with people loitering around (43%) the key reason for feeling unsafe, an increase of 17 per cent from last year. The presence of drunk people (29%), the potential for violence (21%) and reports of attacks (13%) have also increased in relevance this year. The number of residents who have a very strong sense of belonging has decreased from 2012 (17% c.f. 2012, 28%) however, this does not translate to an increase in intention to leave Wanganui or decrease in sense of wellbeing, with these results consistent with 2012. The perception of the quality of life in Wanganui however, has decreased significantly from last year with 79 per cent of residents agreeing that the quality of life is better (18% c.f. 2012, 21%) or the same (61% c.f. 2012, 69%) as last year, compared to 90 per cent who agreed with this last year. Correspondingly, there has been an increase in residents who rated this as worse than last year (18% c.f. 2012, 6%). The best things about living in Wanganui continue to be family and friends (34%) and the community (31%), with an increase in residents who mention the close proximity of everything (31% c.f. 2012, 19%). For those who would leave Wanganui (29%), most said they would do so for better job opportunities (36%), however this is at a lower level than last year. In addition, being closer to family and friends (23%) and needing a change (18%) present as other key reasons for leaving Wanganui. There has been an increase in mentions of safety (12% c.f. 2012, 1%) and financial reasons (12% c.f. 2012, 7%). While just under half (45%) of residents believe that the problem of graffiti is better, the proportion of residents who believe the problem is much better than last year has decreased significantly (6%), with an increase in those who feel the problem is the same (33% c.f. 2012, 26%). Results for the contribution of the CBD to the lifestyle and image of Wanganui are consistent with last year, with 71 per cent of residents satisfied (57%) or very satisfied (14%) with this. Consistent with last year, 62 per cent of residents have used or visited the Wanganui Airport in the last 12 months. Eighty six per cent of these visitors are satisfied (44%) or very satisfied (42%) that the terminal facilities and other passenger services meet the standard of a provincial airport. Overall, residents are fairly satisfied with Council’s services, with satisfaction with most services consistent with last year. The only increase this year is attributed to public art (64% c.f. 2012, 52%). 81 per cent are satisfied (55%) or very satisfied (26%) with the cleanliness of the CBD. 61 per cent are satisfied (42%) or very satisfied (19%) with the water services. 63 per cent are satisfied (42%) or very satisfied (21%) with animal control. 65 per cent are satisfied (49%) or very satisfied (16%) with the control of litter. 64 per cent are satisfied (44%) or very satisfied (20%) with public art (an increase of 12%) 53 per cent are satisfied (45%) or very satisfied (8%) with the roading network. 51 per cent are satisfied (41%) or very satisfied (10%) with the parking services. 46 per cent are satisfied (37%) or very satisfied (9%) with the footpath surfaces. Two measures have experienced decreases in satisfaction ratings. These are: parks and reserves (82% c.f. 2012, 87%), and swimming pools (62% c.f. 2012, 68%). 82 per cent are satisfied (44%) or very satisfied (38%) with parks and reserves (a 5% decrease from last year). 77 per cent are satisfied (44%) or very satisfied (33%) with Cooks Gardens. 72 per cent are satisfied (42%) or very satisfied (29%) with sports grounds. 61 per cent are satisfied (43%) or very satisfied (18%) with the War Memorial Centre . 62 per cent are satisfied (42%) or very satisfied (20%) with the swimming pools (a 6% decrease from last year). 2 | P a g e 67 per cent are satisfied (41%) or very satisfied (26%) with the Whanganui Regional Museum. 49 per cent are satisfied (40%) or very satisfied (9%) with the community buildings and rural halls. 67 per cent are satisfied (39%) or very satisfied (28%) with the Royal Wanganui Opera House (R.W.O.H). 71 per cent are satisfied (38%) or very satisfied (33%) with the cemeteries. 56 per cent are satisfied (38%) or very satisfied (18%) with the Sarjeant Gallery. 72 per cent are satisfied (37%) or very satisfied (35%) with the libraries. 51 per cent are satisfied (33%) or very satisfied (18%) with the Durie Hill Elevator. 45 per cent are satisfied (32%) or very satisfied (13%) with the public toilets. User satisfaction has decreased for both the R.W.O.H (67% c.f. 2012, 84%) and Sarjeant Gallery (74% c.f. 2012, 82%) users, with satisfaction ratings amongst library users consistent with last year. For Council governance, 44 per cent of residents feel that the Council responds to community needs and issues well (37%) or very well (7%). This is a significant decrease for both ratings from last year (c.f. 2012, 46% and 13% respectively). The quantity of information supplied has also experienced a decrease for those who feel that this is more than enough information (10% c.f. 2012, 15%) while ratings for the quality of the information supplied remains consistent with last year. Forty-five per cent of residents are satisfied (40%) or very satisfied (5%) with the community’s involvement in decision making; this combined result is a decrease from last year (52%).

  • Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations
    Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations in New Zealand 1863 to 2010 Researched & Written by Juliet Scoble for the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand JRS/291 © Juliet Scoble 4/2010 © Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand 4/2010 Introduction This document lists the names of railway stations and the dates they were opened and closed. Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find. Juliet Scoble 4/2010 Acknowledgements Most information has been obtained from the Rail Heritage Trust's Station Archive created and researched by Juliet Scoble, and from research specifically undertaken for this document.
