We're developing a Resilience Plan

Resilient cities are those that can prepare for, recover from, and adapt to both shocks—sudden, short-term events like flooding, bushfires or heatwaves—and stresses, which are ongoing challenges such as financial or housing pressures, social isolation or limited transport options.

Camden Council is developing a Resilience Plan to strengthen our community’s preparedness, response, and recovery from these shocks and stresses. This includes natural disasters like flooding and heatwaves, the rising cost of living and the impacts of rapid population growth. The Plan will provide a roadmap for how we can support each other and thrive.
