City of Victor Harbor recommits to Resilient Hills & Coasts
The City of Victor Harbor, alongside nine other members of the region's Resilient Hills & Coasts, has reaffirmed its commitment to a cross-sector partnership to build climate resilience.
At a formal ceremony held at Laratinga Pavilion in Mount Barker, Deputy Premier and Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, the Hon. Susan Close MP, renewed the five-year sector agreement with all partners.
The non-binding, collaborative partnership includes six councils – Alexandrina, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Mount Barker, Victor Harbor, and Yankalilla, the Department for Environment and Water, the two Landscape Boards for Hills and Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island, and Regional Development Australia (RDA) Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island.
These partners, who have been working together since 2014, also affirmed their commitment to the Regional Climate Action Plan 2025-2030 which sets out the direction for Resilient Hills & Coasts and their collaboration to accelerate climate action and community resilience in our region.
Their first Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan was launched in 2016. Since that time the collective has successfully received $1.2 million in external funding and undertaken 28 projects and more than 40 advocacy and engagement activities.
