Have your say on developing a resilience strategy that will strengthen the city’s ability to prepare for, withstand and adapt following major disruptions.
Published in 2018, Resilient Sydney is a collaboration of all 33 metropolitan councils of Greater Sydney that aims to develop a city-wide resilience strategy. The strategy provides the framework and guidance for councils to develop a local area-specific strategy.
The new resilience strategy the City of Sydney is developing describes the challenges communities face and opportunities for action across five areas:
- An inclusive and connected community – How we address homelessness, perceptions of safety, lack of affordable housing, access to food, digital inclusion, social cohesion, loneliness and isolation.
- A climate resilient city – How we adapt to a changing climate including heat, drought, storms, flooding and rising sea levels, and create solutions for those who are most impacted.
- Places, buildings, and infrastructure for resilience – How we manage our infrastructure and buildings to withstand shocks and stresses and improve community resilience.
- A prosperous local economy – How we build the wealth of our communities through diversity, inclusiveness and revitalisation of our city.
- A prepared community – How we’re working with communities and government to prepare organisations, services and people to respond to and recover from shock events.
