Climate Resilient Housing Toolkit

The Canberra Region Climate Resilient Homes Toolkit includes guidance for officials and community members to protect community housing and assets in the case of future climate events. This project is being delivered in collaboration with the Insurance Council of Australia, the Minderoo Foundation, and the NSW Government.

Initial research will assist in determining the current and future natural hazard adaptive capacity of the Canberra Region’s current housing to bushfire, flood, and coastal erosion, by developing an understanding of target audiences and housing typology through reviewing existing data, literature, frameworks, knowledge, and partnerships. This initial stage will be followed by the development of a change plan that supports homeowners to act. The long-term outcome will be the development of more climate-resilient housing stock.
