Climate change is causing an increase in average temperatures, with more hot days and fewer cold nights, and an increase in the occurrence of heatwaves.

Heatwaves have caused a greater amount of human deaths than any other natural disaster.

Increasing the amount of vegetation such as trees, will help to cool the city. Through our Adaptation Plan Council will consider a range of measures that could reduce the worst effects of heat on our community.
