This project is an extension of the ‘Evaluation Framework for Urban Improvement' project funded by the Australian Research Council and NSW Department of Housing. As part of the implementation of this framework City Futures was engaged to undertake a community survey in the Telopea / Dundas and Ermington public housing estates. In total 1200 face-to-face surveys will be administered to local residents, plus additional telephone surveys for residents of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
