The largest social research project in Australian history is underway with the 2021 Australian Liveability Census. After a year where our local neighbourhoods were more important than ever, it is the perfect time to understand what would make them better for you.
Place Score, with support from the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, is running the 2021 Australian Liveability Census, Australia’s largest community-led social research project led.
The 2021 Liveability Census aims to capture what really matters to our communities and how our cities, towns and neighbourhoods are performing today.
Parkes Shire Councillor George Pratt said, “We encourage you to take just 15 minutes to sit down and share what the most important thing to you is, in your ideal neighbourhood and include our community’s perspective in a national forum.”
A visionary local government professional with a focus on wholistic community sustainability, capacity building and pure people power has been appointed.

Works to start on Derrinallum public toilet project
A high priority community project to replace Derrinallum’s public toilets will start Tuesday 11 May and finish in July.
The new toilet block will be constructed off site and installed on the site of the existing toilet in the town avenue.
Temporary public toilets will be available in the avenue while the project is underway.
The new facility has two separate male and female toilets, a unisex ambulant toilet, and a unisex accessible toilet with baby change table.
Mayor Ruth Gstrein said the condition of the existing toilet block and structural concerns warranted replacement.
