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.
