About the survey

The Tairāwhiti Wellbeing Survey is led annually by Trust Tairāwhiti to capture the perspectives and experiences of our local communities.

It tracks regional wellbeing across six muka (wellbeing outcomes) in the Trust’s wellbeing framework, He Rangitapu He Tohu Ora.

Each year, the survey includes questions on life satisfaction, health, income, business opportunities, community connections and perceptions of the environment. The results help build a picture of wellbeing across Tairāwhiti and how it is changing over time.

Why collect this data

We collect this data:

  • to build a strong local evidence base that reflects the experiences of people across Tairāwhiti.

  • to monitor local wellbeing outcomes over time.

  • to better understand where wellbeing outcomes differ across our communities.

  • to help whānau, communities and organisations understand wellbeing across the region.

  • to inform investment, planning and decisions based on the needs of our communities.

Together, this gives a clearer picture of where things are going well in Tairāwhiti and where more focus may be needed.
