Benchmark Park User Satisfaction Survey Program
The Benchmark Park User Satisfaction Survey Program involves conducting a generic park user intercept survey in parks and reserves within participating Government Authorities. The survey program is conducted annually within a region, which allows for a means to track user satisfaction with maintenance regimes over time, or the implementation of new regimes, and trends in usage patterns.The Program has been developed to:
- Provide information about park users and park usage
- Measure park user’s satisfaction with the level of park maintenance within a management area (eg Local Government Authority or State Government Authority)
- Provide a confidential means for comparison of results on an intra-regional and inter-regional basis
- Obtain park user’s requirements for facility/service provision
