Queensland Climate Resilient Councils
Date: 29-Jun-2017
The LGAQ and the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection have established a partnership to support local governments in Queensland to plan for and respond to climate change. The Queensland Climate Resilient Councils (Q CRC) CRC is a three year program working with Queensland local governments to strengthen internal council decision-making processes to respond to climate change.
The Q CRC program is offering the first 20 councils that apply, a free:
1. Face to face climate briefing
2. Detailed governance assessment
3. Leading practice resources for councillors and staff
4. Grants to pilot 2 Local Government Climate Change Strategies
The services are open to all Queensland councils, however, available funding allows only 20 councils to receive these services for free. To receive a free governance assessment, your council must first participate in a face to face briefing.
Council may request both when they apply. Only councils that have received a face to face briefing and undertaken a governance assessment will be eligible to apply for a grant to undertake a pilot local government climate change strategy.

Projects about making water and sewage treatment climate resilient are eligible.
