Liveability Census 2023

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 2023 Australian Liveability Census earlier this year. We had just over 400 responses from within the Local Government Area.

84% of respondents indicated they are satisfied with where they live, giving us an overall liveability score of 70 out of 100. This is a great result, above the national average!

So what are our strengths in the City of Busselton?
