LGAT Coastal Hazards Resilience Planning Project

This project is to undertake upgrades at key playground sites across North East Tasmania.

The Coastal Hazard Resilience Planning Project (CHRPP) represents a transformative approach to managing Tasmania's growing coastal vulnerability.  The project will establish a coordinated statewide framework that maximizes resource efficiency while delivering consistent, high quality outcomes for coastal communities.

Dorset Council will be participating in the planning tools and community engagement components of the project.
