The City of Melbourne
is taking steps to prepare for the unfolding difficulties of climate change.
A Sydney Morning Herald story headed: “Four big problems for Melbourne's $478,088 chief resilience officer” tells about those preparations.
Think back to January’s heatwave to get a taste of what they
could be in for; a buckling transport network, outbreak of heat-induced illness
and wilting economic productivity.
Interestingly moves are afoot to have a representative of
Melbourne City Council visit Shepparton later this year and talk with the
Chamber of Commerce about what it is happening in Melbourne to build resilience
into the city.
The city’s Sustainability Manager, Krista Milne has agreed
to visit Shepparton and explain something about what is happening in Melbourne
and how those changes could help prepare the city for a changing climate.
