Respondents were asked to respond to a question about Infrastructure Investment Focus. The question was:

Like most communities, Smithville faces issues of public infrastructure upgrades and renewal. This includes public spaces, facilities, water management and utilities. All of this will cost money and consumes resources. What do you think should be the approach to tackling infrastructure upgrades and replacement?

Scale: 1 = ‘The community focuses on modest cost-conscious infrastructure solutions and limits the scale and pace of development’; 10 = ‘There is a focus on investing in infrastructure solutions that embrace new technology and offer quality amenities’.
