THE City of Casey has played a part in winning the Victorian Coastal Council Coastal Award for Innovation for its project and report People, Property and Places: Impacts of Climate Change on Settlements in the Western Port Region by the Western Port Greenhouse Alliance (WPGA).
Executive officer of WPGA Greg Hunt said the report was the culmination of a number of years of research and identified the likely impacts of climate change to the Western Port region over the next 50 years.
“The councils of the Western Port Greenhouse Alliance, including the City of Casey, have been showing the nation how to take steps to respond to climate change,” he said.
City of Casey engineering and environment manager David Richardson said Casey used the report to inform its Climate Change Task Force and to plan a program of community engagement.
Victorian Minister for Environment and Climate Change Gavin Jennings and Victorian Coastal Council Chair Libby Mears, presented the awards to the winners on 23 April.
