Place Score’s Liveability Study data will be an important component of our panel’s deliberations. It has provided valuable insight into what the community values most in their neighbourhood and will help identify priority areas for Council investment. The Liveability Study also has some really rich data that is of benefit to the wider organisation, and all the relevant departments at Council now have access to the online dashboard to mine the data further.

“This type of analysis will be more important than ever as local governments determine how to allocate resources in a post COVID-19 world. Resources will need to be targeted specifically to what will make the most impact for the community in specific areas.”

Hoping for some opportunities to collaborate in future – Place Score’s work brought such good value to the box hill project and it’d be great to see how it might influence other future projects.

I think the question here is – How will we not use the data! The data is now being analysed and used across all our corporate plans, place-making, and other targeted communications. Having access to not only the data but the Liveability Platform makes it incredibly easy to interrogate the data and garner insights about what our community values and cares about in the context of how these things are performing – we can now easily do this by topic, place, demographic and association.

Having a sound measure for public places and streets in activity centres in terms of their overall performance. Place Score data helps us direct the most needed improvements and fund impactful interventions.

I’m so excited. I wanted to play around with our Liveability Platform all day! Love the functionality and the flexibility of it. There are just so many ways we can interrogate and use the data. I can really see how we people across the organisation will use it for different purposes.

“I have found this tool extremely effective in sharing what is important in a village centre with both council teams, local businesses and our community. The visual clarity the PX product offers really helps promote a deeper understanding.”

“Hearing (CEO) Kylie Legge’s definition of place-making and realising that’s exactly our goal in working in our community has helped me clarify and refocus on upcoming engagement. I also appreciated the advice on focussing on values in the community, rather than issues.”

“Thank you for assisting us with our draft local strategic planning statement – towards 2040. Your report was a key input into the draft plan which will guide housing, employment, transport, recreation, environment and infrastructure for the northern beaches over the next 20 years. we are grateful to have had such a comprehensive set of place score data that helped form a solid evidence base of community engagement.”
