Sustainability survey – what we heard from you

City of Port Phillip
City of Port Phillip recently carried out a survey with the community to better understand the community’s expectations of Council in addressing climate change and mitigating impacts, to explore your personal responses and sustainability actions and better understand concern around climate change.

Thank you to everyone who completed our sustainability survey recently. Your feedback is most appreciated and is already so valuable in many ways. The feedback has been shared across a range of departments in Council and is already being used to inform programs and services.

Importantly, feedback will also be incorporated into the final draft of the Act and Adapt Sustainability Strategy and our Climate Emergency plan. It will also be valuable input into other strategies and actions.

Here is a summary of what you told us:

  • Overall concern about climate change and its predicted impacts was very high.
  • You considered it extremely to very important that Council address each of nine issues relating to addressing climate change and sustainability.
  • Many of you in the community are unaware of Council services to support the community adapt to climate change.
  • Majority of the community unaware Council declared a climate emergency.
