Frequently asked questions

What happens next?

Your feedback, along with other input, will help shape the Climate Strategy. You’ll have another chance to have your say when the Climate Strategy is opened for public comment. Everyone who provides feedback will be notified when it’s ready to view.

Why are we updating the Strategy?

We know climate change is one of the biggest threats we face. That’s why we’re committed to working with the community to reduce our impact and help build a better future.

Our Climate Strategy will build on our existing 2019 Climate and Renewables Strategy. It will outline what the current challenges are, and what actions council will take to reduce emissions and drive initiatives that help tackle climate change.
