    Survey results: Christmas in Auckland
    September 2017

    Background

    We wanted to ask Panellists about what Christmas means to them, their interest in community Christmas events, and what attractions they would like to see at these events to help us plan celebrations in the future.

    How we will use the results

    Our events team reviews their events programme every three years. These results, along with feedback received from event attendees, will be shared with Local Boards and used to plan events, event attractions, and our event promotions in the future.

    Methodology

    • 24,884 panellists received an invitation
    • 4,193 surveys were completed
    • Survey was open for 11 days (27 Sep - 8 Oct 2017)

    This survey was run on Auckland Council's People's Panel, a quick and easy way for Aucklanders to help shape Auckland by taking part in short surveys.
