Starting climate conversations in small town Victoria

  • Summary

  • Maldon is a picturesque town in Djaara Country, about an hour and a half drive north of Melbourne. It's known for its heritage streetscape and goldfields history. It has an older but active population with around eighty community groups. As a town surrounded by bush and filled with weatherboard miners' cottages, the threats and impacts of heatwaves and bushfires are serious. Enter Amy Atkinson, coordinator of the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre, who subtly steers the community towards climate adaptation. By focusing on tangible impacts like heatwaves and bushfires, the ‘Climate Ready Maldon’ project fosters crucial conversations and empowers locals to confront the challenges of a changing climate.
