Devastating scenes of Tathra fires. Climate change = more disasters. Great to hear their story of action, resilience and taking (renewable) power into their own hands from Dr Matthew Nott - Clean Energy for Eternity #CPPsummit2018 #DisasterRecovery

"People are sick of government strategy documents they want action. It is time to get on with it, time to stop talking, time to do." Shane Rattenbury MLA telling the story of ACT action to address vehicle emissions #CPPSummit2018 Cities Power Partnership

Honoured to accept our award for Lismore City Council community engagement last night - the Farming the Sun model was developed in partnership with Adam Blakester from Starfish Initiatives and we are keen to share it! farmingthesun.net/lismore/busine… Cities Power Partnership #CPPSummit2018 Cities Power Partnership

local govt funding is at pre 96 levels <0.5% of federal revenue. Need to return levels to >1% Kevin Hogan MP #LGNSW2018 #allpoliticsislocal

Good to hear almost every speaker today talk about disaster resilience, after our experience with floods in 2017 cannot emphasise enough how important it is to be ready. Keen to see funding for preparedness not just mitigation #LGNSW2018 Local Government NSW

13,000 hectares of forest to be opened up for logging in the Lismore electorate and buffers reduced to 5m from our head waters - totally unacceptable Thomas George #nswpol

Strong start to the Communities in Control Conference today with Dr Fiona Kerr plenty more inspiring stuff and critical content to come as with 2021 just around the corner #WeAreCIC2020

Good news that the NSW SES are getting a boost in funding. Here in Lismore we want a refocus on local knowledge; prioritisation of community engagement with big increase in staff; & reimagined volunteering structures to allow for surge & community response. NSW SES Steph Cooke MP

Community still waiting for any detail about buyback, land swaps, relocation. People urgently need certainty, choice and direction. #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Disappointed with ambivalent reference to #climatechange. These events will increase in frequency and intensity & we need a strong adaptation response that recognises that #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Where is recognition of critical role of community-led initiatives in recovery. It’s longer and more complex than response. Community must be included, valued and recognised as key participatory stakeholders. We must focus on community-led recovery #floodinquiry #nswfloods

As #climatechange escalates we must prioritise place-based community-led preparedness. The community will always respond and will always be frontline responders for on-ground recovery. We must be resourced to do so #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Day 2 at #adrc22 I’m speaking at the recovery forum tomorrow but am around to connect earlier if you are leaving today and would like a Lismore update from the community perspective #lismore #nswfloods

I am so honoured to be a finalist in the NSW Women of the Year award & to be here to represent the incredible work being done by my amazing team at Resilient Lismore. You can have a look at our important work at resilientlismore.org.au Women Lawyers Association NSW #WOTYA #WOTYA2023 #embraceequity
