Why we’re doing this
We’ve faced many challenges in recent years. From drought and bushfire impacts and floods to the global pandemic and other extreme weather events, as well as cyber threats and changing economic conditions. These challenges threaten our stability and prosperity.
In March and April 2023 we asked for your feedback to help shape a resilience strategy to address these challenges for communities in the City of Sydney local area.
What we’re doing
We’ve developed a draft strategy that sets out a vision for a more connected and prepared city. It explains what resilience is and proposes ways to help cope with the impacts of shocks and stresses that challenge our community.
We invite you to share your experiences, thoughts and ideas on how our communities can be more prepared for emergencies and cope with the impact of shocks and stresses.
Our approach – 5 directions
The strategy describes the challenges that we face and opportunities for action across 5 areas.
Sustainable food in Sydney
We’ve heard that more people in our communities are not able to afford enough healthy, fresh food. We’re developing a plan to improve access to food and address the challenges in our urban food system.
To help us plan, use our interactive map to share places where you like to grow, buy or swap fresh, healthy, affordable food. Tell us about great local producers, food pantries, affordable markets and growers or gardens in our community, including rooftops, schools and community centres, and community programs.
Next steps
All feedback will be considered by the project team. The final version of this strategy will be reported to Council later in 2023.
