Climate Resilience
How do we secure water as the critical enabler for communities, economies and the environment in the context of a changing climate? Like much of NSW, the Namoi region is recovering from the worst drought in living memory. In this exciting new podcast series, Climate Resilience: Namoi, you’ll hear directly from staff and councillors from the Walcha Shire and Tamworth Regional councils about their experiences of unprecedented drought, and how they are preparing for a future of climate uncertainty. And we’ll bring you to a farm on the Liverpool Plains that is working to keep water in the land for longer and helping ensure a viable future for agriculture. The podcasts are proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Local Government NSW through the Increasing Resilience to Climate Change Program.

Water sensitive urban design considers the whole water cycle, including management of rainwater from roofs, paths and roads with the broader environment in mind.
We visit two residential developments in the Wollongong area and look at the water-sensitive urban design elements that have been or will be handed over to council to manage.
But how do councils and developers best work together to provide it effectively?

Water management is a shared responsibility between utilities and councils, and both groups are looking at working more collaboratively: within and across organisations.

This is an evolving space as these organisation...
The sponge city is a way of visualising how water should be absorbed and travel through an urban environment.
Instead of rushing the water away, a sponge city absorbs and keeps it in the landscape. But how do we plan for sponge cities when the city or town has already evolved to rush water away? It starts with benchmarking: assessing how water sensitive a community already is and asks what else councils might do to progress.
We dis...
The township of Walcha, on the south-eastern edge of the Northern Tablelands, has more than 600km of gravel roads it relies on to service the community and its economic driving force - agriculture.
Those roads carry everything, from trucks bringing feed and fertiliser to trucks taking livestock to market, kids going to school, farmers going to town - they are socially and economically critical. But this year Walcha experienced a dr...
A city in the heart of cattle and sheep country, with a strong industry and residential mix at its heart, Tamworth in NSW is coming good after the longest drought on record. The drought was so severe, it shocked the city and its residents and furthered the community’s determination to be drought ready for the future.
We learn how councils in rural cities and towns prepare for longer and more severe periods of drought.
In this...
We step out of town, along the dusty gravel roads, to check out how some members of the farming community are working to keep water longer on the land.
The process is designed to lift carrying capacity and profit, boost diversity and improve landscape hydrology. This internationally recognised approach is being applied to properties around Australia.
So, what does this type of farming mean in practice, what can it do for river catc...
