  Sustainable Neighbourhoods Lake Macquarie
Climate Ready Dora Creek
In September 2008 fifty members of the Dora Creek community attended a local workshop on climate change.  In response, the community formed the local group Climate Ready Dora Creek, with support from the Dora Creek Catchment Group and Lake Macquarie City Council.
Climate Ready Dora Creek now meets regularly and has become the first community in Lake Macquarie to develop a local plan for adapting to climate change.  Local residents have volunteered to become neighbourhood coordinators to help implement actions in their area.
The Dora Creek Draft Climate Change Adaptation Plan sets out more than 100 actions for Climate Ready Dora Creek to implement in partnership with local householders, the community, Council and State Government.  Climate Ready Dora Creek will work with the Dora Creek community on priority actions in the upcoming year.
The Dora Creek Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP) documents the priority community-based actions from the Draft Climate Change Adaptation Plan.
Help Dora Creek get Climate Ready
There are different ways you can get involved locally:
  • Participate in Climate Ready Dora Creek local activities, meetings or workshops
  • Help local Landcare groups protect and rehabilitate natural barriers to sea level rise such as vegetated creek banks and wetlands
  • Plan new landscaping, buildings and renovations to be energy efficient and adaptable to sea level rise
  • Reduce your environmental footprint

Help make things happen in your local community.  Contact us to find out more about the local project and how to get involved.
