Heat Management Plan 2025, a key part of its Integrated Extreme Heat Planning Framework. This initiative responds to the rising frequency and intensity of extreme heat events due to climate change. The plan will guide Council’s actions over the next five, 10, 50, and 100 years, focusing on public health, urban planning, and climate resilience.

Extreme heat affects everyone, and this plan is a commitment to protecting our community. Council will provide resources and support to help residents stay safe and maintain essential services during heatwaves.

By 2040, Victoria is expected to experience twice as many days over 40°C (Victorian Climate Science Report, 2019). On these days, will you stay indoors or seek cooler spaces? How can Council support you during extreme heat?
