Consultation has concluded
The Draft Climate Change Resilience Policy recognises the growing threat of climate change and Council’s responsibility to adapt and build resilience. It outlines the commitment to addressing climate change impacts through understanding, mitigating, and adapting to climate change.
This policy serves as an umbrella policy for all QPRC climate change and sustainability activities. It emphasises integrating climate change considerations into every aspect of Council operations, from decision-making to staff training. It mandates the development of strategies, plans, and policies to enhance resilience across all Council operations and community services.
The policy also strengthens the framework for collaboration with other government agencies, adherence to legislative obligations, and periodic policy review. By embedding climate considerations into financial planning, asset management, and disaster management, Council aims to protect assets, ensure service delivery, and achieve its sustainability goals, aligning with the NSW State Government’s objective of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Adopting this policy sets the future direction and reinforces all our sustainability and climate change-related policies to include adaptation measures.
