The following list of clickable documents and links provides some useful background on the history of climate action in our Shire and the broader context of climate change in our region. This list informs the context narrative that is being developed as part of the project, to ensure that we don't re-invent the wheel and that we can learn from both existing and previous projects and initiatives.
If you have any furthur documentation and resources you think will be useful to inform this process, please send to officemasg@gmail.com.
