About the Strategy

Singleton Council has received funding under the Australian Government’s Disaster Ready Fund to develop a Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy (Strategy) and Action Plan for the Singleton Local Government Area.

This strategy will provide a shared vision and whole-of-community roadmap for reducing disaster risk in the region, supporting Council, community service organisations, and affected communities to mitigate increasing natural hazard disaster risks due to climate change.

This new Strategy will inform future planning proposals within the study area over the medium and long term, ensuring that future development and decision-making support community resilience and do not adversely impact adjoining communities. The Strategy and Action Plan will guide Council’s approach to identifying, assessing, and reducing disaster risks, embedding disaster preparedness and resilience into all planning and development activities for the benefit of Singleton’s residents and neighbouring communities.
