Current Ipsos Surveys in Field

City Centre Residents Insights Study 2026

Auckland Council commissioned Ipsos New Zealand to carry out the 2026 iteration of the City Centre Residents study, which aims to provide information about the perceptions of residents in Auckland’s city centre about their needs, experiences, concerns, and aspirations about living in the city. Council is interested in understanding residents’ reasons for living in the city centre, as well as their perceptions of living, working, and travelling within and out of the area. This includes understanding their experiences of housing, services and amenities, transport, and safety.

The first wave of the study was undertaken in 2013, and then again in 2016 and 2022. The results of the study contribute to monitoring against progress and outcomes in the City Centre Masterplan, which is council’s blueprint for the future transformation of the city centre. Data collection for the 2026 study will take place between August – December 2026. 

2026 Climate Attitudes and Actions Monitor Survey

The 2026 Climate Attitudes and Actions Monitor Survey is a research project for Auckland Council, conducted independently by Ipsos.

The survey gathers Aucklanders’ views and experiences of climate change to help inform future planning, climate adaptation, natural hazard management, and emissions reduction initiatives.

The survey will run from 27 July to 6 September 2026 and is open to selected Auckland residents.

This initiative is a key part in understanding and improving mental health support services tailored to this vulnerable group. 

The data collection period will run from April to June 2026.

New Zealand Health Survey

Ipsos (formerly CBG) is currently in the fourteenth year of data collection for the continuous New Zealand Health Survey (NZHS) funded by the Ministry of Health. The survey collects vital information on a wide range of topics including health behaviours and risk factors, acute and long term conditions, health status and health service use. The survey consists of a core set of questions that repeat every year. These core questions are then supplemented by a set of rotational modules that change each year in July.

New Zealand Household Travel Survey

The Household Travel Survey (HTS) collects information about day-to-day household travel in New Zealand - such as, how, where, when and why we travel. The results provide insights into the travel patterns and choices of  New Zealanders - information which is vital for developing transport policy including road safety, transport systems, walking and cycling. Since October 2015, Ipsos (formerly CBG) has been undertaking the fieldwork for the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions & Transport to collect data for the new continuous travel survey using GPS technology and online forms.

For more information and survey results, please visit the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions & Transport website.

New Zealand Crime & Victims Survey

In 2017, Ipsos (Formerly CBG) was contracted by the Ministry of Justice to design and implement a new continuous crime and victimisation survey to replace the New Zealand Crime and Safety Survey (fieldwork last administered in 2014 by CBG). Evidence indicates that around 70% of crime against individuals and households is not reported to the Police. Accordingly, the redesigned New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey (NZCVS) aims to fill this gap by providing a national representation of the experience of crime for those aged 15 years and over. Ipsos now runs NZCVS on a continuous basis with in-depth modules changing each year.
