Every year we commission a survey of Porirua residents to find out what people think about our performance, services and facilities.
Residents are randomly selected across the city's three wards, making sure there is a proper balance of age, gender and ethnic proportions (based on the census). The person selected for interviewing in each household was the person aged 18 and older who had the next birthday.
In 2014, we engaged independent research company Key Research to conduct the survey. Key Research does similar surveys for other local authorities. This allows a comparison of results with peer groups of similar councils.
The Annual Residents’ Satisfaction Survey provides information to assist us with priority-setting for long-term and annual planning, as well as performance monitoring via annual reporting.
