There are significant ongoing programs and initiatives undertaken by many organisations in this region that are enhancing our response to climate change and are priorities to continue.

These include programs led by Councils, Melbourne Water, Parks Victoria, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, community groups and non-Government organisations.

In addition, there are project proposals that, if funded and implemented, can contribute to achieving the visions and targets for climate change. Potential projects include:

·       Measuring what matters proposed by the Bass Coast Landcare Network

·       Greening the Pipeline led by Melbourne Water

·       Regional Reserves Climate Resilience proposed by the Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action (DEECA)
