Background information

7 February 2024

The City of Onkaparinga is about to start shaping its 10-year community plan and we want to hear your vision for the future.

Our annual community survey provides an opportunity for residents to tell us what matters to them, how connected they feel to their community, how they stay active, their thoughts on the local economy and more.

Survey responses provide us with a snapshot of our community and helps track changes and trends that shape the future of our region. You can also win one of four $500 vouchers. To enter, simply complete the survey below and add your details at the end.

Prizes will be drawn on 8 November and winners will be notified by email or phone.

The $500 vouchers can be your choice of a:

  • membership at our aquatic and recreation centres (one pass accesses all centres)
  • stay in one of our tourist parks
  • shopping voucher

Full terms and conditions are available to view here.

The survey takes 10 minutes and is open until Sunday 5 November.

During the six-week engagement period we’re also asking the community what their vision for the region’s future is. The question form is available at council offices, libraries, community and youth centres, recreation centres, and selected events.

Responses from the survey and vision questionnaire will also be used to inform reviews of two other key strategic documents—the council’s Long Term Financial Plan, which guides long-term financial sustainability; and Strategic Asset Management Plan, which helps ensure appropriate infrastructure is in place for current and future generations.

The three draft plans are scheduled to be released for community engagement in April 2024.
