The strategy is also dedicated to preparing the community to adapt and thrive in a changing climate.
By supporting a smart green economy, prioritising a healthy natural environment, and building resilient, informed, low-emission communities, the Council aims to lead by example.
Engagement with local residents has shown that 88% consider climate change and reef health to be critical issues, driving the Council’s proactive approach.
“Our commitment to mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change is at the heart of our corporate plan. As guardians of two World Heritage natural wonders, we are dedicated to protecting these treasures for future generations. This MRF project is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and innovation.”
