The Sydney Coastal Councils Group Monthly Update www.sydneycoastalcouncils.com.au Welcome to the Sydney Coastal Councils Group (SCCG) Monthly Update. The aim of the update it to provide Member Councils and interested stakeholders with a quick and easy to read summary of the Group’s recent activities. If you would like more information on any of the projects or issues discussed please contact the SCCG Secretariat (02) 9246 7702.

SCCG Key Activities

SCCG Grant Applications The SCCG has partnered with Think Insight and Advice to develop an application for

the Sydney 2100: Managing Perceptions of Changing Coastal Environments Project under the NSW Environmental Trust Environmental Research Program. The project will develop and apply a method to assess community knowledge, attitudes, values and beliefs in response to the impacts of climate change. The outcomes will include messages and tools for consultation and communication on climate change impacts, such as sea level rise. These will then be applied to develop a broad vision for Sydney 2100 which will articulate the required levers for behaviour change to be applied when

selecting and implementing the desired adaptation responses of coastal communities. Ultimately the project will generate new information and tools to facilitate the identification of local solutions to the impacts of climate change. These outcomes will provide all spheres of Government with the necessary resources to build the resilience of communities to climate change.

Sydney Coastal Councils Group Strategic Plan Following the second meeting of the SCCG Strategic Planning Directional Committee the SCCG Strategic Plan for 2010 – 2014 is being finalised. The plan which will set out the Group’s strategic direction for the next four years will be provided to Member Councils for their endorsement in June. Once finalised, the plan will be available on

the SCCG website.

Water Recycling opportunities forum recommendations In March 2010 the SCCG and Sydney Water partnered to facilitate a workshop for SCCG Member Councils to discuss actions and projects that facilitate water recycling and re-use projects in Sydney. The forum was attended by 27 participants from 12 SCCG Member Councils and 10 representatives from Sydney Water. Representatives

from the NSW Office of Water, the Department of Climate Change and Water as well as the National Water Commission were also present at the forum. Specific recommendations coming from the forum were made in relation to the following actions or issues: • The establishment of a joint SCCG Sydney Water Working Group. • The Development of “Handbook” which provides all SCCG Member Councils with information on issues, including processes for identifying, implementing and evaluating projects. • Ongoing collection and access to technical and project specific information. The SCCG intends to work with Sydney Water on implementing the actions identified during the forum. This will ensure that the forum achieves its aim of improving collaboration and assisting with the identification and implementation of water

recycling and re-use projects.

SCCG Websites: In addition to the SCCG website www.sydneycoastalcounicls.com.au the SCCG has two other websites that may interest readers of the monthly update: 1 The SCCG Environment Monitoring Page www.monitor2manage.com.au/

The Walking Coastal Sydney Website www.walkingcoastalsydney.com.au

These sites have been developed to complement specific projects undertaken by the

SCCG and provide users with a range of useful technical and recreational information.

Member Council Actions and Issues Every month the SCCG uses this section of the update to provide a summary of some of the actions being undertaken and emerging issues for Member Councils.

My Green Apartment – North Sydney Council My Green Apartment is a North Sydney Council initiative aimed to assist residents of apartment blocks within the North Sydney Local Government Area, to reduce their environmental impact. The program will actively engage apartment residents, body corporate members, and managing agents to increase their capacity to engage in environmentally sustainable behaviour and streamline their access to sustainable technologies. One apartment block will be selected to undergo a 'green make-over'. The apartment block will also serve as a demonstration site for My Green Apartment case studies, resource kit, forums and open days to assist other local apartment blocks to undergo their own green transformations. North Sydney residents interested in nominating their apartment block should go to: www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/www/html/6701-my-green-apartment.asp?intSiteID=1

Sutherland Councils offers Enviro-Works Course Sutherland Council is offering an Enviro-Works Course for residents.

The course runs on Wednesday evenings between 6.30-8.30pm and two Saturday morning practical sessions 26 June and 17 July 8.30 - 12.30pm. Participants are eligible for a subsidised compost bin, worm farm and green cleaning kit.

Cities as Water Supply Catchments - Water Sensitive Urban Design In what is considered a world first, researchers from Monash, Melbourne and Queensland Universities have collaborated with industry, Local, State and Federal Government partners from around Australia, including some SCCG Member Councils, to develop an innovative, multi-disciplinary 5-year research program - harnessing the potential of stormwater to supplement water usage and build resilience to the challenges of housing a growing population in an era of climate change. Further information about the Cities as Water Supply Catchments Research Program and the Sydney Metropolitan Consortium can be found at www.wsud.org/cities-as-water-supply-catchments/
