The ‘Act now on Adaptation: Coastal Wise Communities’ project will deliver a proactive evidence-based coastal adaptation communication and engagement resource for the Hunter and Central Coast region, and provide a pathway to embed Climate Change Resilience into the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework of Councils.

Coastal communities are impacted by various coastal hazards; erosion, inundation, storms and sea level rise; the severity and frequency of which are increasing due to climate change. Managing these impacts consumes significant council and agency resources and is generally done on a site-by-site or council-by-council basis. To assist Councils more consistently and collaboratively plan for and respond to these issues, this project has provided the following resources:
