Mayor of Invercargill
Climate change and resilience
Climate change poses a huge challenge for communities as more frequent extreme weather events require us to rethink how we live and where. Local authorities are at the forefront of efforts to respond, with responsibilities for environmental planning and regulation, as well as civil defence. Many councils have plans to reduce emissions in their area and are working to help their communities adapt to a warming world.

Advocate for civil defence authority readiness as there is no excuse to be unprepared since disasters do happen. Costs such as $10 for 24-pack 500ml water bottles and $6.50 for 1.7L rolled oats.
Calculate cost per kilometre for fuel at $1.50 per litre for 91 unleaded in a 42-litre tank able to travel 420 km, which is 15 cents per km, and promote good exercise by pushing the car using the rac of wheels.
Live healthier lives by doing house chores and stretching often to mitigate injuries as knees then hips usually fail first, that's what my Brisbane GP informed me.
Commit council to continue adapting for potential climate change risks, such as flood management, water resources and public transport.
Commit council to continue alternative water supply investigation so Invercargill is not vulnerable to one water supply, the Oreti River.
Continue to support Environment South and direct climate mitigation plans. Review and implement changes to the district plan to cope.
Commit to making council operations carbon neutral by 2030 through renewable energy, efficient transport and waste reduction.
Invest in climate resilience by upgrading stormwater systems, planting urban trees and protecting coastlines from rising seas.
Strengthen civil defence preparedness by ensuring neighbourhoods have trained volunteers and clear evacuation routes for tsunamis.
Develop a 30 year adaptation plan for Southland based on protecting areas of maximum risk.
Reduce emissions from ICC owned assets to achieve net zero by 2040.
Work collectively with other councils to develop strategies and action plans on an all Southland basis.
Strengthen flood protection and stormwater systems to protect homes and businesses.
Improve civil defence readiness to respond quickly to natural disasters.
Support sustainable practices in council operations to reduce emissions.
