- Annual production of the Community Performance Report, which monitors and analyses a variety of quality of life indicators in the community, and establishes benchmarks for success.
- Where the report indicates a low quality of life (based on the benchmarks), CQI engages those agencies involved in that aspect of the community to work on improvements
- Where the report indicates a high quality of life (based on the benchmarks), CQI publicizes these successes throughout the community at large
