In the context of a changing climate, buildings, natural systems and infrastructure should be designed and delivered to mitigate climate impacts and maximise community resilience. Greenfield development offers a unique opportunity to deliver effective solutions from the outset, future proofing communities against the cost of retrofit as the climate changes and the urgency of action becomes even more critical.
Suburban Land Agency (SLA) engaged HIP V. HYPE to develop a planning instrument to help guide adaptation and resilience responses across their land holdings. The Adaptation and Resilience Plan Template is an instrument for SLA to ensure climate sensitive site planning for greenfield development.

Context
Benchmarking the Adaptation and Resilience Plan Template against other leading resilience and adaptation planning approaches, and using a pilot site to 'ground' the development of the Template and associated guidance ensures outcomes are technically robust and comprehensive.
- Review existing policies, frameworks and undertake a benchmarking review
- Facilitate engagement sessions to understand the needs of stakeholders
- Adaptation and Resilience Plan Template for Greenfield Development Planning
- Test the Template using a pilot case in Molonglo Valley, Canberra
