Engagement Outcomes
During phase one of the community engagement, over 1700 residents responded to a series of climate change-specific questions in a survey that informed the development of the draft plan. The survey showed strong support for the proposed goals and for council-led action around renewable energy, waste diversion and recycling, tree planting and influencing urban planning.
Phase two of the community engagement provided an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft plan. During consultation, there were 605 unique visits to the Your Say webpage, 61 online surveys were completed, 12 people attended three drop-in information sessions, and 4 emails and one letter were received. Overall, the engagement demonstrated strong community support for the draft plan.
A Community Engagement Feedback Report was presented at a Strategic Directions Committee meeting on 2 August 2022 and Council approved the Climate Change Response Plan 2022-27.
