RESOURCES

Resilient South councils have worked together since 2011, investigating and responding to the impacts of climate change in our region. We've used this information to inform council policies and management plans. You may find some of the resources that we've developed useful for your own planning too!

Climate adaptation manual for Local GovernmenT - Embedding Resilience to Climate Change

We have been working in collaboration with the Australian Centre for Excellence in Local Government and a number of other Councils around Australia, to develop the guidance manual, Climate Adaptation Manual for Local Government – Embedding resilience to climate change. The manual is a practical tool for local governments across Australia to facilitate change. We are proud to have played an important role in developing this manual and believe the case studies we have provided will allow others to make practical and important changes to protect their own environment and communities.
