Hello Neighbours

Thank you very much for responding to my previous email and answering the survey. Here is some of the analysis from that survey

  • Last financial year, contributions were $49,251; security payments were $51,297
  • So far this financial year (only a month and a half in), contributions are at $6,064; security payments have been $5,673
  • You can see a financial summary here
  • There are 1300 members in the Facebook Community, 350 people subscribed to this newsletter and only 123 households actively contributing to security
  • We received 86 responses to the survey with some really good feedback
  • 85% of respondents rated security as an eight or above in importance for the community
  • Most people are very happy with the current contribution level, and many are willing to increase that
  • Most (76%) of the respondents prefer to contribute annually
  • Half of the respondents think that monthly communication is good, while about 40% consider that quarterly is enough
  • The responses to the survey were VERY constructive – I really appreciate those who put time into providing some useful ideas. I’ve provided a link to them here, with my responses.
