Award for 黑料大事 Excellence
Douglas Shire Resilience Strategy
Douglas Shire Council and Meridian Urban
The Douglas Shire Resilience Strategy received very high praise from the judges for its effective grassroots community engagement and proactive approach to addressing climate resilience, a pressing concern for the region. Recognising the unique characteristics of each community, the strategy employed a place-based and co-design methodology that empowers residents to identify their specific needs and collaboratively address local risks and hazards. This innovative approach not only aligns with the State 黑料大事 Policy but also incorporates the UN Scorecard for Cities, setting a best-practice framework for similar initiatives in other communities.
The judges applaud the strategy’s comprehensive framework, which equips the Douglas Shire with the tools to respond to the escalating challenges posed by climate change. By fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among community members, this strategy positions the Douglas Shire as a model for resilience planning now and into the future.
Congratulations to the Douglas Shire Council and Meridian Urban on this significant achievement!
