Annual Resident Satisfaction and Wellbeing Survey
We want to hear from you.
Kaikōura District Council is inviting residents and ratepayers to share their views on Council services, facilities, and community wellbeing.
Why are we running this survey?
Every year, Council checks in with the community to better understand what matters most to the people who live, work, and own property in our district. Your feedback helps shape future decisions, priorities, and improvements, ensuring Council continues to meet the needs of our community.
Who is conducting the survey?
The survey is being managed by SIL Research, an independent research company. A random selection of households recently received a paper survey in the mail, and some residents may also receive a phone call from the SIL Research team inviting them to participate.
Why should I take part?
Your feedback plays an important role in helping Council understand what's working well and where improvements are needed. The more people who participate, the better Council can reflect the views and experiences of the wider community in its planning and decision-making.
How long does it take?
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Didn't receive a survey in the mail?
No problem. Anyone living in the Kaikōura District or owning property in the district is welcome to participate online.
Complete the survey here:

Is my information confidential?
Yes. Participation is voluntary, and all responses are anonymous and confidential. Individual responses will not be identified in any reports presented to Council.
Win a $100 New World voucher
As a thank you for taking part, everyone who completes the survey can enter the draw to win a $100 New World voucher, which will be drawn before Christmas.
Thank you
We appreciate everyone who takes the time to share their thoughts and experiences. Your feedback helps us better understand our community and make informed decisions for Kaikōura's future.
Thank you for helping shape a better Kaikōura.
