The City of Casey invites community members to check out the draft Climate Resilient Casey Plan (draft plan) and submit feedback via Casey Conversations.
Casey is already experiencing the impacts of climate change in the form of more frequent and intense heatwaves, storms, bushfires, and major flooding. Council has prepared the draft plan outlining mitigation and adaptation strategies to ensure Council and the community are better prepared for the impacts of climate change.
The draft plan outlines how Council is seeking to build climate resilience across four areas of focus:
- Nature and biodiversity
- Community wellbeing and resilience
- Council infrastructure, assets and services
- Planning for a safe future
“Acting on climate change is fundamental to achieving Casey's Community Vision to become a more connected, bold, and resilient community,” said City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff PSM.
“Our community has already shown support for taking swift and effective action and we want to see this momentum continue. I encourage you all to read the draft Climate Resilient Casey Plan and provide your feedback via our engagement platform, Casey Conversations.”
Council’s engagement approach will also involve a series of targeted sessions held with local community groups to help inform Casey’s climate resilient approach.
Feedback can be provided through digital or written submissions. To read the draft plan and make a submission visit the Casey Conversations website.
This consultation opportunity closes Thursday 11 July 2024 at 5.00 pm.
