Resilient Communities

Resilient Communities enables local residents to identify community driven solutions that build resilience during natural disasters and is a collaboration with local disaster management service.

Making change together is easier than doing it by yourself.

Many people are feeling isolated, vulnerable and fatigues following a series of recent disasters.

Resilient Communities is a program that empowers and connects us to walk to a more positive future together.

What We Do

Resilient Communities works in three ways to support and empower people to respond to the impacts of climate change in their homes and their communities.

  • Community Mentors :

    • Attend a 2-day training to plan and develop a personally meaningful project.

    • Undertake a self-directed community project with on-going support from OzGREEN.

    • Assist with the delivery of community days held in their town.

    Support OzGREEN will offer:

    • Identifying a project.

    • Project mapping support.

    • Networking opportunities.

    • Project design assistance.

    • Skill building opportunities.

    • Grant writing guidance

    • Event management support.

    • Hands-on practical help.

  • We run Landscape, Household or Community Preparedness Days.

    These free events will provide opportunities for your community to come together, share concerns, plan for the futures, make connections and learn new skills and include:

    • Session to come together, share and plan for the future

    • A shared lunch

    • Skills-based workshops, tours of nearby properties or information sessions from key speakers.

  • Inspired to take action, our Resilient Communities community organises a range of events including field days, workshops, tours, information sessions and more.

    We help facilitate registration for these events and promote themevents on our website and socials.
