This Climate Change Risk and Adaptation Strategy outlines how Maroondah City Council and partners will work towards a more climate adapted Maroondah.
Building on work already undertaken by Council, it draws on a solid evidence base heavily informed by stakeholder engagement and the latest climate science including projections from the Bureau of Meteorology and the national science body, CSIRO, as well as vulnerability information to inform climate change adaptation planning. The Strategy has at its heart an ethos that the best and most cost-effective approach for climate change adaptation is embedding relevant actions into Council’s existing service delivery. It includes key directions that will help Council to manage identified risks and provide co-benefits.
