Key points
Baseline data for Waikato regional communities was collected through the 2007 Waikato Community Outcomes Survey commissioned by MARCO and Choosing Futures Waikato. Respondents were asked: ‘Thinking about the community you live in and the infrastructure available and using the scale where 0 is very dissatisfied to 10 being very satisfied, how satisfied are you with the cultural facilities and opportunities provided in your area’.
- Survey results from 2007 show that an estimated 41% of regional residents were satisfied with the cultural facilities and opportunities provided in their area. This reflects in a Satisfaction Index (weighted average score) of 61.5 points for ‘cultural facilities and opportunities provided in your area’. The scores vary only a small amount by location within the Region.
- Residents from Franklin District had a Satisfaction Index of 61.2 points, which was very close to the Waikato Region overall.
