Community Satisfaction Survey

Starting this Friday, 14 February 2020, the National Research Bureau (NRB) will be conducting the three-yearly community satisfaction survey.

On behalf of the Kawerau District Council the NRB will be phoning a number of residents in the Kawerau district for a short community survey.

As a national organisation NRB completes research for many councils in New Zealand which enables a comparison of results.

The 2018 Census figures found that 63% of NZ households still have a landline.

NRB will survey 200 residents (aged 18 or over) mainly by landline telephone, but some will be by mobile and also 20 face-to-face interviews. In addition, the survey aims to interview a minimum of 60 residents aged from 18 to 44 to ensure a younger demographic and at least 60 interviews with residents who identify as Māori. There is also a 50/50 gender quota that will be used - so that 100 interviews will be with men and 100 with women to ensure a relatively even gender balance.

The 2018 Census figures who 48% of the Kawerau District population aged over 18 is male, and 52% is female.

The Council thanks you in advance if you receive a phone call and are able to assist with the 2020 Community Survey.
