We will seek to ensure that our operations, services <strong>and</strong><br />
digital infrastructure are prepared <strong>and</strong> resilient to the effects<br />
of climate change including waste management, recreation<br />
<strong>and</strong> leisure facilities <strong>and</strong> ongoing daily operations across all<br />
services.<br />
In addition, we will ensure our severe weather response<br />
<strong>and</strong> emergency planning is prepared for the continued <strong>and</strong><br />
increased climate change risks facing the <strong>City</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>District</strong>. We<br />
will promote active citizenship through community resilience<br />
plans enabling individuals <strong>and</strong> communities to become more<br />
resilient <strong>and</strong> responsive when severe weather events occur.<br />
2.3 Operations & Services<br />
Ensure continued service delivery <strong>and</strong> maintain Council<br />
operations <strong>and</strong> resilience to climate change<br />
The Council has already taken action to manage some of<br />
the projected climate change risks to reduce the impacts on<br />
Council services <strong>and</strong> to support residents <strong>and</strong> communities,<br />
however we recognise the need for further adaptation action in<br />
this area.<br />
Service delivery is at risk from disruptions to energy supply,<br />
transport networks, staff access to places of work <strong>and</strong> impacts<br />
on productivity.<br />
