Devonport Peninsula Precincts group survey
Devonport Peninsula Precincts group has launched a short, anonymous survey to understand resident's needs and knowledge of the Ryman construction in Devonport, to discover information gaps, vulnerable residents, and preferred communication channels.
|
|
|
With the prospect of three-plus years of major construction at Wakakura Precinct, DPP is concerned the community should know the conditions of consent that have been set and how those are managed. The results will help guide actions to minimise harm and maximise benefit for the community. The survey is being directed by professional market researchers who are local residents.
Please help your community by completing this short 3 - 5 minute anonymous survey HERE.
