Banana residents encouraged to have say on council services
Published on 12 June, 2008
Residents of the Banana Shire Council area will be asked to share their opinions on issues affecting their community into the future when Central Queensland University conducts a telephone survey targeting randomly selected households in the area this month (June).
The Mayor, Cr John Hooper explains the importance of such a survey, saying, "The findings of the survey will provide the Council with knowledge that can be used to facilitate genuine positive outcomes for a changing community and residents should not shy away from the chance to have their say during this period of transition".
Central Queensland University's Population Research Laboratory has been commissioned by the Banana Shire Council to conduct the survey.
Population Research Laboratory Manager, Christine Hanley adds, "Participation by residents who are randomly selected to take part in the survey is highly important in ensuring that the results of the survey represent the views of the wider community. The survey is a great way for people to get involved and ensure that issues which they believe are important are given a voice".
The survey will be conducted by Central Queensland University's Population Research Laboratory during the month of June.
