With a view to improve waterways quality, the Christchurch City Council (CCC) engaged Global Research to investigate Christchurch citizens’ attitudes and behaviours regarding waterways; how they value them; assess their quality; treat them; and, the actions they are prepared to take to improve them. The research was a component of the proposed Community Water Partnership Initiative.

The City of Port Phillip, Melbourne, Victoria, engaged the public from December 2021 to February 2022 to gather information about opinions on the Draft Nature Strip Guidelines - a plan that outlines the ways in which nature strips may be planted and used in the area.
