Climate Change

Cool Changes

Cool Changes is our program that works with local communities across the shire to facilitate the development of local climate action plans.

Key plans and reports on climate change

Local and regional plans and reports related to climate change.

Climate change in our region

Climate Change is a global concern. Learn about climate forecasts for our region, and their implications.

Council action on climate change

In addition to reducing emissions from its own operations, Council has declared a climate emergency and partners with other councils and organisations to act on climate change.

While emissions from Council operations may only represent about 1% of total emissions from all activity in the shire, Council action to reduce emissions changes its emissions profile and informs future works to target emission sources.

Community emissions profile

Almost 30% of the total greenhouse gas emissions from activity within the shire is from electricity and gas consumption in our homes. Learn more about the emission sources from the shire here.
