The Banana Shire Council has debated whether or not to take part in a major climate resilience program.
Councillor Terri Boyce put forward a motion at the ordinary council meeting on May 24 that BSC should not participate in the Local Government Association of Queenslandâs Queensland Climate Resilient Councils program.
The program aims to help give councils and their staff the capacity to deal with the effects of climate change, and includes 46 other councils including Central Highlands, Gladstone, Western Downs and Mackay.
âLGAQ are going to the state and federal governments saying âlook, weâve got two-thirds of Queensland in this groupâ, and that puts more pressure on them to do what theyâre trying to do now,â Cr Boyce said.
