Climate change

Climate change poses a significant operational risk to our infrastructure, water resources, community health and safety, and financial sustainability. We are actively working to mitigate these risks and are preparing to address the challenges presented by an increasingly unpredictable and severe climate.  

Here’s what we are doing to address the impacts of climate change:  

• Developing our first Climate Change Plan.

• Developing and implementing our Net Zero Emissions Plan.  

• Developing our Power Resilience Plan. 

• Continuing our recycled water scheme that provides recycled wastewater to recreational and agricultural users.

• Building resilience into our infrastructure by strategically reviewing and upgrading assets to mitigate the impacts of climate change.  

• Endorsing the Cape to Cape Resilience Plan (Cape to Cape Resilience Project) 

• Implementing the Urban Water Strategy – South Gippsland Water

• Implementing the Drought Preparedness Plan
