Connections Program Market Research

Goulburn Murray Water

RMCG was engaged to undertake statistically sound research to determine the current level of satisfaction with customers that are yet to start, in the process and completed their on-farm works as part of the Goulburn Murray Water (GMW) Connections Project. This survey was commissioned to further understand the drivers of satisfaction and address important knowledge gaps.

A total of 288 customers were surveyed across the continuum of GMW Connections Project phases; yet to start (n = 109), in the process (n = 105) and completed (n = 69). This produced an overall confidence level of 95% and confidence interval of ±6%. Customers were primarily engaged via phone, and email and web were used to complement responses.
