Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan
The Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan was developed between 2014 and 2016. The process included a knowledge audit, review of regional climate projections, mapping of community values, assessment of the vulnerability of those values to climate risks, and identification and prioritisation of adaptation options.
The following documents were prepared as part of this process:
- Climate change projections for the region (2015)
- Knowledge Audit – a regional profile describing key sectors and values (2014)
- Identifying Values and Key Decisions – a summary of stakeholder discussions and knowledge gathered at regional workshops (2014)
- Integrated Vulnerability Assessment for Kangaroo Island (2014)
- Integrated Vulnerability Assessment for the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula (2016)
The final Adaptation Plan documents are available here:
- Resilient Hills & Coasts Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan
- 2-page snapshot of the Plan, describing the regional priorities
- Mayors’ foreword .
Where We Build What We Build
The Where We Build What We Build project was undertaken in 2019 and 2020. It aimed to encourage building or retrofitting of homes that are climate-ready, by demonstrating that the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs.
Maps generated from the project can be accessed at http://edge.endevgeo.com/ (project: wwbwwb).
Key projects outcomes can be found in the following fact sheets:
- Project overview
- Regional climate hazard mapping
- Regional housing archetypes
- How to build climate ready homes
- Climate resilient materials
- Guide for planners

Community Energy
Between 2017 and 2019, Resilient Hills & Coasts partner Councils explored how they could work with each other and their communities to deliver a Community Energy Foundation. We are finalising a case study and toolkit of resources for Councils, regions and communities to learn from as they investigate their own community energy options. They will be available here.
