20/11/2007 · Progress Association · Lifestyle Survey Results
This survey has been conceived and developed by the Gidgegannup Progress Association (GPA).
The aim is to establish what the “Hills Lifestyle” is. The “Hills Lifestyle” is to be protected under several governing documents, including the North Eastern Hills Settlement Pattern Plan and the Gidgegannup Rural Strategy.
A shortfall in these documents is that the “Hills Lifestyle” has not been defined, and hence, the GPA commissioned this survey to establish an accurate definition and description.
