Climate Change Adaptation Plan

Our Climate Change Adaptation Plan is a five-year plan aimed at 

  • reducing the risk of climate impacts through actions within Council’s control and 
  • enhancing community resilience and ability to adapt before, during, and after climate events. 

The plan includes 100 Adaptation Actions addressing the four climate scenarios identified as the most significant risks to Byron Shire: 

  • flooding due to extreme rainfall,
  • coastal storm surges due to severe storms and sea level rise,
  • extreme heat, and
  • increased fire weather.
