Next Gen Your Voice, Our Future: Rate What Matters in Kiama Survey

Please note this survey is for people under 25 If you are over 25 please follow this link to your survey

Introduction: We’re on a mission to tap into what you think and feel about living and growing up in our community. Your views are very important to us because they help shape the decisions we make and the projects we prioritise. Whether it's about making our neighbourhood more fun, safe, or connected, we want to hear from you.

Please take a moment to let us know how you feel about the topics listed below. Rate each category from 1 to 7, where 1 is 'not really my thing' and 7 is 'totally love this!' If you’ve got more to say or suggestions to share, shoot an email to lynnestrong@mooandco.com.au.

Why Your Input Matters: This isn't just any survey. The way it’s set up helps us see which issues really hit home for you and how they connect with each other. For example, if lots of you are passionate about both green spaces and sports facilities, it shows us a strong link that could lead to cool new projects, like eco-friendly parks with sports areas. We use these insights to focus our efforts and funding on what matters most to you.

Privacy Promise: Don’t worry about privacy; this survey is 100% anonymous. We’re not collecting any info that could identify you personally. We just want your honest opinions to help us make our community the best it can be for you and your friends.

Thanks for helping us make a difference! Let’s find out what our community loves and needs, and how we can all work together to make it even better.
