Adaptation Plan

Council’s operations, assets and the services we deliver to the community are vulnerable to a range of climate hazards, including storms, heatwaves, bushfire, drought, coastal inundation and flooding.

Adapting and building resilience to climate change and the overall health and wellbeing of our community are important issues for Council, and Council is committed to integrating risk management into all its operations, decision making processes and governance structures.

In line with the advice of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, Council has adopted the recommended four-step process for climate change risk assessment and management.

The Adaptation Plan details the approach Council has taken to achieve steps one and two of the process and outlines the actions Council will take to complete the final two steps by treating the risks identified and continuing to monitor and review these risks into the future.
