Survey
Complete the survey from now until 29 October 2023 to tell us your thoughts on Council's role to strengthen resilience and safety in Banyule.
Community resilience and safety are a shared responsibility.
To do our part better, Council has drafted a Resilient and Safe Banyule Framework to make sure Council funding and staff have the greatest impact.
We'll focus on local neighbourhoods, maintaining community assets, being prepared for environmental change, connecting people and building community knowledge.
Based on our research and what we've heard from community during other engagement activities, we think that this work will help to make Banyule safer and more resilient.
Complete the survey from now until 29 October 2023 to tell us your thoughts on Council's role to strengthen resilience and safety in Banyule.
Come to a workshop on Wednesday 11 October 2023 to talk about Banyule's strengths and where Council should focus its efforts to strengthen resilience in Banyule.
Contact Benjamin or Sherryn to ask them to come and talk with your group about what's needed to strengthen Banyule's resilience and make our community safer.
A resilient Banyule is one where our communities are inclusive and connected, have access to social and economic opportunities, value and protect the natural environment, and harnesses local strengths to ensure that everyone experiences good health and wellbeing.
The draft Resilient and Safe Banyule Framework extends our commitment to the Resilient Melbourne Strategy and reflects local government role under the Community Resilience Framework for Emergency Management.
Drawing from research, data, previous community surveys and a series of engagement sessions with community groups and Council staff, the draft Framework demonstrates how a focus on five key pillars will lead to a better outcomes for all people and create a more liveable Banyule.
In June 2023 we undertook a review of evidence, data and policy to make sure that the Resilient and Safe Banyule Framework is practical and relevant to the people of Banyule.
The Review helped us to gain a full picture of national, state and local policy, and found that the 100 Resilient Cities Framework, the Community Resilience Framework for Emergency Management and the Resilient Melbourne Strategy are solid foundations to guide our approach. It also became clear when we talked with local stakeholders that local government has an important role in strengthening community resilient and safety.
As a result of this research, we've identified five Focus Areas that we think will help to strengthen the Banyule community's resilience and safety.
We look forward to testing this thinking with you during community engagement from 15 September to 29 October 2023.
Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region’s history.
