PERFORMANCE
Warrnambool City Council has improved across all
seven core measures in the annual Local Government
Community Satisfaction Survey.
M
ost Victorian Councils participate in the survey, which
is co-ordinated by the Department of Jobs, Precincts
and Regions and involves asking residents about their
perceptions of how a council is performing.
The index score for overall Council direction shifted dramatically
from 32 in 2020 up to 59 this year while the score for overall
performance also saw a marked improvement from 42 to 55.
“These are really encouraging results and set a new benchmark
for Council,” Warrnambool Mayor Cr Vicki Jellie said.
“The challenge will be to maintain the momentum and we’re
determined to meet the expectations of the community.
“That means listening to the feedback we receive. It also means
acknowledging that there will be times when the right decisions
may not always be the most popular.”
