CouncilMARK

CouncilMARK™ is a measure for better community value and New Zealand’s local government excellence programme.

The CouncilMARK™ programme is designed to improve the public's knowledge of the work councils are doing in their communities and to support individual councils to further improve the service and value they provide to all New Zealanders. The programme incorporates an independent assessment system that assesses how councils are performing and the work they're undertaking to grow the value they deliver. Councils receive an overall performance rating from a team of independent assessors and commentary on their performance.

Communitrak Survey

The aim of the Communitrak survey is to gather information about the public perceptions and interpretations of Council services & representation.

Communitrak™ offers to Councils the opportunity to compare their performance with those of Local Authorities across all of New Zealand as a whole (National Average) and with similarly constituted Local Authorities (Peer Group Average), through a National Survey of 1,000 residents carried out in July 2016.

Comparisons are made with this data, and with previous readings, when applicable.
