2025 Australian Liveability Census

Let's shape our dream region together!

Better roads or more sociable places?

More local services or job opportunities?

From Sunday, March 30 to Monday, June 30, 2025, Place score is running the 2025 Australian Liveability Census to find out more about your ideal neighbourhood.

This is a special opportunity for our communities to have a say on what matters most—whether it’s improving public safety, better connectivity for work and study or more spaces for social activities.

Complete the census now by visiting www.mackay.qld.gov.au/census

If you don't have access to a mobile phone or computer to complete the census, visit any local library to access the public computers. A free membership is required.

We also encourage you to share it with your family, friends, and neighbours.

As a thank you from Place Score for participating, everyone who opts in to share their big or small ideas for improving their neighbourhood will have the chance to win a $1000 major prize or one of 40 $100 vouchers!

It only takes 15 minutes to make an impact on future planning and investments for our region.

Your feedback will help shape the decisions that guide the future of our community and will contribute to national research on liveability.
