  1. Community Satisfaction 2007 Community Satisfaction Research Findings Town of Claremont May 2007

  2. Introduction and research method • In March 2007, Australian Market Intelligence conducted community satisfaction research to determine: • Overall satisfaction with the Town of Claremont • Perceived importance and satisfaction for selected services and facilities • Performance map analysis • Other specific questions required by the Town of Claremont • The data was collected by way of a self-completion survey mailed out to the Town’s residents. • A sample of 560 households was surveyed by way of a self-completion questionnaire: • Sampling precision is +/- 4% at the 95% confidence interval. That is to say, we are 95% confident that the results obtained from the survey are within +/- 4% of that of the entire population. • A total of 2,000 households were randomly selected from the rates database and invited to participate in the research. • A response rate of 28% was achieved in 2007.

  4. Overall Satisfaction

  5. = significant variance Overall satisfaction • 73% of respondents are satisfied with Council • These respondents rate overall satisfaction 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 out of 10, where 10 is totally satisfied and 1 is totally dissatisfied • Overall satisfaction has decreased significantly from 81% last year • Satisfaction is high and has improved significantly • Mean satisfaction rating = 6.5 • Satisfaction decreased significantly by 8% points between 2005-07 • Satisfaction is higher among males, older and those in either the West or South ward respondents • 36% males vs. 23% females rated satisfaction in the top 3 boxes. • 45% of those aged 55 years+ vs. 20% of those aged 18-54 years rated satisfaction in the top 3 boxes (16% points above the average) • South (33%) and West (32%) compared to East (23%) ward residents rated satisfaction in the top 3 boxes. Q1. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is totally satisfied and 1 is totally dissatisfied, overall, how satisfied are you with the Town of Claremont? Base = all respondents (2007 n=438 excludes ‘don’t know’); Coding: Satisfied = 6-10; Top 3 boxes = 8,9 and 10; Dissatisfied 1-4

  6. Services & Facilities Importance & Satisfaction Ratings: An Overview

  7. Council services & facilities – higher importance Q: How important is it for the Town of Claremont to provide each service to its residents? The importance can be rated on a 10 point scale where ‘10’ is extremely important and ‘1’ is of no importance. Base = all respondents (2007 n=various)

  8. Council services & facilities – lower importance Q: How important is it for the Town of Claremont to provide each service to its residents? The importance can be rated on a 10 point scale where ‘10’ is extremely important and ‘1’ is of no importance. Base = all respondents (2007 n=various)

  9. Council services & facilities – higher satisfaction Q. How satisfied are you with the Town of Claremont’s performance in this area? 10 = totally satisfied; 1 = totally dissatisfied. Base = Respondents who use service / facility (2007 n=various)

  10. Council services & facilities – lower satisfaction Q. How satisfied are you with the Town of Claremont’s performance in this area? 10 = totally satisfied; 1 = totally dissatisfied. Base = Respondents who use service / facility (2007 n=various)

  11. Performance Map Analysis

  12. Performance map analysis Performance map analysis assists Council to identify strategic priorities. Importance and satisfaction levels are analysed and presented in four quadrants (shown below) to illustrate which services and facilities need to be improved, monitored, maintained and celebrated. MONITOR represents the quadrant of lower importance & lower satisfaction levels. Services and facilities that fall into this quadrant are less important to the community and the Council is performing less well in delivering them (to those who use them). This quadrant requires Council to monitor perceived levels of importance and satisfaction and make required adjustments if a particular service or facility moves into another quadrant. PRAISE represents the quadrant of high importance and high satisfaction. Services and facilities that fall into this quadrant are important to the community and the Council is performing extremely well in delivering them (to those who use them). This quadrant requires no special strategic emphasis besides maintaining current levels of performance and promoting the Council’s performance. Levels of high satisfaction and lower levels of importance depict the SUSTAINquadrant. Services and facilities that fall into this quadrant are less important to the community and the Council is performing very well in delivering them (to those who use them). This quadrant requires no strategic intervention besides maintaining current levels of performance. The CONCENTRATE quadrant comprises services and facilities that have high levels of perceived importance and lower levels of satisfaction. These areas represent the ‘hot issues’ for Council. Services and facilities that fall into this quadrant require Council to invest resources and effort to improve performance and perceived levels of satisfaction.
