In 2020, we consulted with our community on the Climate Action Plan.
During the first phase of the consultation, we heard from more than 1,500 community members. We randomly selected one-third of these community members to take part. In 2021, the second phase of the consultation told us we were mostly on the right track. We found out that our community supports us in taking bold steps to reduce our impact on climate change. You can find out more about the consultation process in our research report.
We also considered community feedback from the Boroondara Community Plan refresh consultation.
Other considerations in developing the plan
Our Climate Action Plan aims to help the City of Boroondara find the best ways to reduce emissions and be more sustainable.
When we developed this plan, we looked at:
- community feedback
- how our operations contribute to greenhouse gas emissions
- how the Boroondara community contributes to greenhouse gas emissions
- how climate change is connected to other environmental issues, such as biodiversity and water availability
- other ways we can help reduce the effects of climate change outside our own operations
- how much we need to reduce emissions to avoid the worst effects of climate change
- what data we have available to track and report on how well we're doing
- what data we aren’t able to collect.
