Building our Community in Advance

Project background

Referring Murray River Council's (MRC) Adverse Event Plan (AEP) in 2020 via input from the local community including farm owners, local business owners, representatives from progress associations, crisis support and health services. Subsequently MRC has partnered with Western Murray Land Improvement Group (WMLIG) to deliver upon the purpose and vision of the AEP building on resilience principles that focus on building community capacity. 

​
With a growing risk of climate related impacts, it is vital that our community is well prepared. This project will assist in planning for these risks and help increase our resilience.

The project will build a stronger community by increasing resilience to changing conditions and diversify the community by creating competitive and quality services, improve infrastructure, agriculture production and more employment opportunities, which will translate to greater economic return for our region. This will ultimately increase long-term community health outcomes and safety. ​​

WMLIG will deliver activities aligned to the strategy that: 
  • Provides community with climate decision-making support tools for business planning purposes via information sessions 
  • Diversify the economy and capture value at home through improving collaboration and information sharing to encourage innovation. 
  • Provide information sharing to encourage innovative approaches to land management. 
  • Investigate and share information about novel approaches to building a self-reliant community.  
  • Partner with MRC to form and engage a skilled leadership team from the geographical footprint across MRC. The team will identify and respond to strategic priorities, track implementation of projects, identify emerging issues or amendments to the AEP.
