The Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG) has published a resource to support local councils in assessing the progress of community wellbeing.
The report, Community Wellbeing Indicators: Measures for Local Government, outlines key research and initiatives, and provides practical planning tools such as a community wellbeing indicators survey template.
The tool contained in the research report will allow councils to measure community wellbeing using a number of standard indicators, to track changes over time, benchmark performance against results from comparative surveys in councils (QLD), and identify policy measures that can improve community outcomes.
For further information or to download the report and survey template, see the ACELG website.
