Every couple of years, under the guidance of the University of Melbourne, Atherton Gardens residents conduct 300 surveys on the estate to find out what residents see as community strengths and key problems. Seventeen Atherton Gardens residents were trained and conducted the 2006 survey on the estate in nine different languages. Topics in the survey are based on the six Action Areas that Neighbourhood Renewal aims to improve: (1) housing & the physical environment (2) community safety & crime prevention (3) employment & education opportunities (4) health & wellbeing (5) community pride & participation (6) responsiveness of & access to services. This is a summary of how Atherton Gardens residents think things are going in these 6 NR key 'Action Areas'. Some resident quotes in their own words are included, as well as charts of statistics.
