Work is underway on Part B of the Climate Change Strategy, focused on adapting to climate change. The development of Part B involves working closely with the University of Tasmania through a project of the Regional Climate Change Initiative.

Information on the opportunities to be involved in community engagement will be detailed on Council’s Have Your Say page.

The Huon Valley Council acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the South East Nation, the Melukerdee people of the Huon River and the Lyluequonny people of the Far South. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and culture, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Community Engagement

Community engagement is about us working together to understand and resolve an issue or project. It is a process that involves the public in decision making and the use of community input to make better, more informed decisions.
