What are our community’s adaptation actions?
We've identified 67 actions (so far) that are helping Hepburn Shire adapt to climate change. Adaptation actions vary wildly in size, scope and focus: many actions have adaptation benefits but aren't specifically being done to manage climate risks and impacts.
So how can we see how these actions match up to our adaptation needs? How can we tell if what we're doing is effective? Are we doing enough? And are we doing enough in the right places?
The Hepburn Z-NET Adaptation project identified 6 focus areas, where we can make a difference and have community-supported projects/programs: agriculture, biodiversity, economy, healing Country, health & wellbeing and water
Visit our adaptation tool here to view our adaptation actions, their approaches, scale and focus areas. We can use these key adaptation criteria to differentiate and prioritise certain actions. And this is what we are doing in our Hepburn Z-NET community collaboration.

Want to learn more about community-scale batteries in Central Victoria? Check out our video explainer🔋
As part of the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance led project ‘Community Sparks’ our co-op produced a booklet looking at community-scale batteries in our region.
To support the release of the booklet, we collaborated with Little Sketches to make a short informative animation.
We'd like to thank Little Sketches and the rest of the Community Sparks team for their great work!

Human sign for climate action at Hepburn Wind
A big thank you to the 180 community members and supporters who gathered at Hepburn Wind to make a human sign for climate action!
Our community is working to transition to zero-net emissions by 2030 - a critical task if we want to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
This is why we are calling on the Victorian State Government to impliment strong emission reduction targets for 2025 and 2030, to ensure that we are all on a pathway to a safe climate.
