Community Resilience Network – Workshop 1 – The Social Impacts of Drought

Building resilient communities ahead of a predicted increase in drought events.  

This online workshop will be hosted at six locations across the South West (see below) and will feature: 

- A presentation on the Social Impacts of Drought by Dr Leanne Lester from UWA.

- Group discussion to identify actions to build community resilience to drought or other impacts.

- Sharing ideas between groups.

The workshop will be held at Community Resource Centres (CRCs) in: Boyup Brook, Bridgetown, Donnybrook, Harvey, Brunswick Junction and Manjimup. Attendance at these locations is preferred, but if not possible, a meeting link will be sent.

It is the first in a planned series of six workshops for 2024, designed to create a Community Resilience Network - One of five "Surviving the Dry" projects in the South West.

This project is supported by FRRR, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund. More information here.
