Good Response to Community Survey
22 September 2011
The Progress Association’s community survey in June attracted 132 responses which is a very good result for Moonta and District and an important contribution to the Association’s Strategic Planning process for the next 5 years.
While the evaluation of the Progress Association’s community survey continues, the preliminary results so far strongly support the Progress Association’s current program of activities and acknowledges its impressive achievement record over the past several years.
Several items figure prominently on the community’s wish list with “ helping to improve sports club facilities”, “supporting Moonta’s hospital and doctor services” , “bicycle tracks and walk trails”, “fishing competition”, “improving foreshore amenities” and “day parking and rest areas for tourists” leading the way. Others, including “Street banner poles and banners”, “town and media promotion”, “town information booth” and “tourist information packages” also attracted a strong response.
Importantly, respondents also acknowledged the limitations of the Progress Association’s current staffing situation and the need to attract more volunteer staff to maintain and extend its current programs and undertake new projects like those mentioned above. The Progress Association’s Annual General Meeting at the Town Hall Supper Room on Thursday 29th September from 7.30pm will provide an excellent opportunity for those who are interested in helping us in any of the above areas, and in any capacity, to come forward.
The Progress Association Committee would like to thank the local residents who are interested in their town and gave their time to complete the survey questionnaire and share their views, ideas and suggestions to promote and improve the town. Special thanks to Dean Angus, teaching staff
and the students of the Moonta Area School for their excellent group response.
