Get involved in Climate Action Plan

Bass Coast Shire Council is calling on the community to get involved in the development of the Bass Coast Climate Change Action Plan 2020-2030.

Council has declared a climate emergency and is committed to developing an evidence-based Climate Change Action Plan. The Plan will guide the community towards net-zero emissions while facilitating climate adaptation and urban resilience over the next 10 years.

All Bass Coast residents are encouraged to participate and share their thoughts on climate action and adaptation by completing an online survey, which is open until Thursday, 30 April. The survey is estimated to take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and can be accessed from Council’s website at www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/climateaction.

This survey has been developed to engage with the community in order identify the motivation and appetite for climate action, and to gain insights into household energy use.

Survey responses will be used to model the community’s carbon emissions for Bass Coast and to support the development of the Climate Action Plan.

The survey contains a number of questions regarding household energy – having a copy of a recent utilities bill may make these questions easier to answer.
