Community Engagement With Place Score
There is increasing demand for governments and place managers to deliver evidence-based planning and reporting that demonstrate measurable community benefit. Place Score’s Liveability Survey applies a peer-reviewed methodology to collect robust data on community values, performance, and priorities.
Insights are delivered via your easy-to-use, action oriented, Liveability Platform. Reliable and centralised, your Liveability Platform provides immediate access to the voice of your community to support informed and strategic decision-making across safety, housing, sustainability, transport, open space and more. Align your team around shared community priorities to optimise resource efficiency, reduce conflict and deliver measurable benefit.
Australia’s most comprehensive liveability survey
Our proprietary methodology was developed through a 12 month peer review process with Macquarie University, Sydney. Nationally consistent, designed specifically to inform government planning and track community outcomes, the results can be used across all departments from corporate governance, open space and transport, to sustainability and community development.
Represent your community by geography as well as demography
We work collaboratively to maximise participation from a representative cross section of your community. Our record-breaking engagement campaigns are supported by a full suite of communication materials, methodologies and all technology support. Every result is tracked live on your Engagement Dashboard.
Largest national benchmark supported by the biennial Liveability Census
Over 110,000 people, from 430 local government areas across Australia, have completed a liveability survey since 2019. Consistency, rigour and the ability to compare performance against standardised and transparent benchmarks provide incomparable data confidence.
Day to day data tool for the whole organisation
No data wastage. Less engagement. We centralise the voice of your community so your team can make smarter, evidence-based decisions. Use your Liveability Platform for strategic planning, community visions, grant applications, project feasibility and more.

We’d love to share how liveability data is transforming how organisations engage, and make decisions, across strategy, planning, projects and reporting.
Australian Liveability Census
We partner with local and state governments, the private sector and not-for-profit organisations to invite the Australian community to share what is important to them and how local neighbourhoods are performing. Our objective is to understand liveability from the perspective of our nation’s diverse population and provide decision-makers with the evidence base to enhance the lives of local communities. Since 2017, over 300,000 responses have been collected to build the country’s largest social research data set and benchmarks, with the results being utilised for decision-making, reporting, planning and communications.
Every two years, the Australian Liveability Census opens on Neighbour Day, the last Sunday in March and closes on 30 June.
The results from the 2025 Australian Liveability Census will be available in October 2025.
The next Australian Liveability Census will be in 2027.
We acknowledge the Eora people of the Gadigal nation as the traditional owners of the land from which we work. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
