Community-led Adaptation and Resilience Strategy Update

Council is empowering a diverse group of community members from our region to create a community-led Resilience Plan. Council engaged Griffith University to work with residents on this component of the RRP, which is an important step in strengthening recovery systems in advance of a disaster.

The framework for this work was developed through an earlier case study involving the Sussex Inlet community and has now be expanded to the whole of the Shoalhaven.

The Resilience Planning component involves a series of community workshops that addresses potential future scenarios and brainstorm adaptive ways to plan for the future.

Griffith University has facilitated the completion of the Community Led Adaptation and Resilience Strategy. This Strategy was presented to Council's Executive Management Team and Mayor prior to a proposed briefing of Council and Staff in September 2023.
