COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLAN
As part of its commitment to obtaining a Green Star Communities (v1.1) rating for the upcoming master planned community development, Mambourin, Frasers Property Australia (FPA) has developed a Community Resilience Plan (CRP) (collectively referred to as the Plan) to support the development of their Mambourin, Wyndham Vale development.
The CRP describes extreme events to which the Wyndham Vale community and its users can expect to be exposed into the future and the key actions to improve the resilience of the community to these future extremes in climate. The key climate risks for Mambourin include:
1) An increase in extreme heat days, leading to:
a) heat stress, solar exposure and reduced thermal comfort of residents, contractors and visitors, resulting in increased illness, dehydration related illness and/or morbidity
b) higher summer cooling loads on buildings resulting in increased water and energy demand/costs, and brownouts/power outages.
c) higher rate of deterioration of buildings and structures
2) Drought conditions could result in reduced water availability and pressure on urban water resources as well as water for gardens and landscaped areas.
3) Both extreme heat and drought conditions would result in higher Bushfire risk within the local area.
4) An increase in extreme rainfall events, as well as sea level rise would lead to localised flooding.
5) An increase in frequency and severity of extreme storms and high winds could lead to higher exposure of built assets and property resulting in more damage to assets with associated costs and loss of service.
Recent events across Australia such as floods, heat waves and bushfires have demonstrated the vulnerability of property, infrastructure and assets to climate extremes. It is critical that steps are taken to minimise any potential impacts of a changing climate and that these steps are specific to the local vulnerabilities.
The CRP contains information on the potential risks to the community from extreme events as well as community contacts (e.g. police, senior members of community groups, schools and other community-based leaders) and emergency procedures.
The CRP aligns with local disaster management plan(s) prepared by the relevant authorities such as Wyndham City Council and the local SES. The draft plan may be provided to the local council and emergency management authorities for comment. It is noted that emergency response management is governed by the Wyndham Emergency Management Plan.
INTRODUCTION
Recent extreme climate events across Australia such as flooding, heat wave and bushfire events have demonstrated the vulnerability of property, infrastructure and assets to climate extremes. The changes in climate extremes will have a range of impacts putting stress upon property assets, infrastructure and sensitive communities. It is critical that steps are taken to minimise the potential impacts of a changing climate and that these steps are specific to the local vulnerabilities.
The climate variables of temperature, precipitation and sea level rise collectively act as catalysts for extreme weather events such as bushfires, floods, droughts and cyclones and as evidence continues to demonstrate these events are becoming more intense and frequent. Extreme events such as the 2018 storms and floods in greater Melbourne and 2019/20 bushfires illustrate our current vulnerability to climate.
FPA acknowledges the need to understand the impacts that extreme weather and climate change may have on its assets and projects and is committed to the development of climate adaptation plans (CAPs) and for new communities Community Resilience Plans (CRPs) across its operations. FPA believes that this will build resilience into the communities. It considers that addressing climate change is a fiduciary responsibility to key stakeholders. FPA have commissioned the development of a Community Resilience Report (CRP) to support the development of its Mambourin, Wyndham Vale, VIC development.
OUTLINE
This Community Resilience Plan is for the Mambourin, Wyndham Vale (“Mambourin”) development. The CRP has been developed according with the compliance requirements outlined by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) Green Star Communities Submission Guidelines. Specifically, the Plan accords with compliance to resilience component of the Governance Category – 04 Adaptation and Resilience (Credits 2 for the CRP).
This Plan draws upon the CAP also produced as part of Adaptation and Resilience which in turn was developed in accordance with International Standard - ISO 31000:2018Risk Management standard, the Australian Standard AS 5334-2013 Climate Change Adaptation for Settlements and Infrastructure, and the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) Climate Change Impacts & Risk Management: A Guide for Business and Government 2006.
COMMITMENT
As part of its Sustainability Plan FPA aims to achieve and maintain a leadership position in the industry. This has been assisted by FPA’s commitment to achieving a Six Star Communities and Five Star Green Star Design & As Built ratings for new industrial, commercial and retail projects, and committing to managing climate adaptation and resilience concerns.
FPA acknowledges the need to understand the impacts that extreme weather and climate change may have on its assets and projects and is committed to the development of CAPs across its operations. This will allow FPA to build resilience into the assets and communities in which it operates. Emergency relief would be by the retail centre, private school, council assets including the library, community arts centre and community centre, in a manner consistent with the Wyndham Emergency Response Management Plan. FPA has developed both a CAP and CRP for the Mambourin development to assist the development to withstand and adapt to the future climate. It is recommended that this Plan is read in conjunction with the CAP for Mambourin.
As part of its Sustainability Plan, FPA aims to achieve and maintain a leadership position in the industry. This has been assisted by FPA’s commitment to achieving Green Star ratings for all new residential, industrial, commercial, and retail projects, and committing to managing climate adaptation and resilience concerns.
GREEN STAR ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
The Green Star Communities submission guidelines define the minimum information requirements within a Community Resilience Plan:
Potential project specific risks to the community from extreme events;
• Key community contacts (e.g. police, senior members of community groups, schools and other community-based leaders);
• Emergency contacts (e.g. local authorities, utility providers, insurance, counselling etc.)
• Nominated emergency shelter location(s) for the community such as shopping centres or school halls;
• Information on how to develop an emergency plan and emergency kit for centre users, businesses and other occupying the facilities within the community;
• Comprehensive list of communication channels to enable the community to stay informed (e.g. radio, social media);
• Guidelines for disaster prevention at a local level, procedures to follow in the event of an emergency and what to do after an emergency; and
• Checklists to support the implementation of the above.
The CRP must align with local disaster management plan(s) prepared by the relevant authorities. The draft plan should be provided to the local council and emergency management authorities for comment.

CLIMATE RISK AND RESILIENCE
This CRP contains information on the potential project specific risks to the community from extreme climate events and sets out key emergency procedures and community contacts (e.g. police, senior members of community groups, schools and other community-based leaders) that are relevant to responding to these risks.
“Naturaldisasterssuchasbushfires,floodsorcyclonesconstituterealthreatstocommunities.Thelong-term effects ofclimatechange,suchassealevelrise,alsoconstitutepotentialthreats” Green Star – Communities.
The precincts and communities that will bounce back from future events will be those that have built a strong sense of ownership and belonging to the place. The communities that have recovered the quickest to some of the recent climate events have been those that have come out to help in the clean-up and recovery from the impact.
Building that sense of belonging at the start of the creation of a new community is one of the fundamentals to future resilience.
CLIMATE RISKS
The CRP and CAP together describe the risks associated with extreme climate events and natural disasters and focus on emergency response related adaptation options. It has been developed in accordance with Green Cross Australia’s Community Resilience Guideline for Developers (2013).
Appendix 2 describes the agreed adaptation actions for the extreme and high risk events that have been identified based on a climate risk assessment for the locality and described in the Mambourin CAP.
Local History of Extreme Climate Events
• Millennium Drought – Ongoing drought conditions affected most of southern Australia, including the wider Melbourne region. Water restrictions were progressively increased from Stage 1 in 2002 to Stage 3a in 2007. 6 March 2010,
• Melbourne – Storms with large hail, flash flooding and high winds caused damage across western and central Victoria. Impacts included disruption to transportation in Melbourne and flash flooding of key CBD streets.
• 4 February 2011, Melbourne – Severe rainstorm caused flash flooding.
• 25 December 2011, Northeast Melbourne –Severe thunderstorms, large hailstones, flash flooding, and reports of tornadoes caused significant damage
• 4–12 March 2013, Melbourne – heatwave lasting 10 days.
• 31 May 2013, Melbourne – Heavy rain and thunderstorms.
• 18 July 2013, Melbourne – Highest Melbourne July (Winter) temperature on record: 23.3 °C.
• 14–17 January 2014, Melbourne – Four consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 41 °C, two of which exceed 43 °C.
• 21 November 2016, north and west Melbourne – High heat and humidity cause thunderstorms to form. As a result, and due to excessive grass growth in the north and west of Melbourne, pollen counts triggered thousands of severe asthma attacks, including nine fatalities due to asthma and overloading of emergency response.
• 19 December 2017, Melbourne –Severe thunderstorms along with heavy rain, damaging winds and large hail.
• 14 December, 2018, Melbourne – Severe storm bringing 30mm of rainfall in 15 minutes swept across greater Melbourne causing widespread flooding, damage and obstructuions to many road and public transport routes including the Werribee Train Line. Point Cook, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing and Truganina were among the worst affected areas for power outages.
• Summer of 2019/2020 – Australia experienced the largest and most devastating bushfire season to date, where Victoria lost 300 homes and over 1.2 million ha of land were burnt causing a biodiversity disaster. Smoke from the fires blanketed greater Melbourne and at times air quality was rated the worst in the world.
Key community climate risks have been identified for the Mambourin location
KEY COMMUNITY CLIMATE RISKS – MAMBOURIN
1) An increase in extreme heat days , leading to:
a) heat stress, solar exposure and reduced thermal comfort of residents, contractors and visitors, resulting in increased illness, dehydration related illness and/or morbidity
b) higher summer cooling loads on buildings resulting in increased water and energy demand/costs, and brown- outs/power outages.
c) higher rate of deterioration of buildings and structures
2) Drought conditions could result in reduced water availability and pressure on urban water resources as well as water for gardens and landscaped areas. This may also result in the increase of biological hazards near residents and in recreation areas, such as snakes in search of water sources.
3) Both extreme heat and drought conditions would result in higher bushfire risk within the local area. This may also result in deliberate lighting of fires on total fire-ban days.
4) An increase in extreme rainfall events, as well as sea level rise would lead to localised flooding.
5) An increase in frequency and severity of extreme storms and high winds could lead to higher exposure of built assets and property resulting in more damage to assets with associated costs and loss of service.
Appropriate adaptation and resilience actions have been identified to respond to these risks including:
• Engaging residents, owners and stakeholders in understanding the likely comfort conditions in the public realm to extreme heat events through the Welcome Pack and other resources
• As the frequency of droughts and bush fires increase mechanisms to push weather information, air quality and ozone levels to the local community will be discussed.
• Information on preparedness and response to climate risks will be provided to residents, visitors and owners as appropriate in the Welcome Pack and other resources
• Residents will be informed about options during storms and what to do in an extreme storm event.
Systems to alert residents and town centre users to flooding events, including impacts to access and egress to decrease sensitivity, will be investigated.
M ambourin Local Context (Source: Frasers Property Australia)
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
The resilience of a community is influenced by aspects such as age, community interdependency, governance, awareness and financial position. At a broad level obtaining strong resilience in these areas sets up a good foundation for building the capacity of the community into the future (adaptive capacity).
Resilience is a measure of how well communities can cope with the impacts of climate variability and extremes. It is linked to vulnerability and is a combination of the following aspects – exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. A community’s ability to respond to climate extremes is determined by their adaptive capacity and sensitivity.
Key influential factors are:
• Age
• Education
• Family structure
• Financial position
High sensitivity can occur for:
• 65 years or over and living alone
• Fully dependent (4 years and under)
• High housing density
A SNAPSHOT OF MAMBOURIN COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLAN
Low adaptive capacity can occur for:
• Household ownership (owned by bank or rental).
• Median household income (below $750 per week).
• Non-English speaking (ESL)

CLIMATE ADAPTATION ACTIONS
To develop community resilience for this development, project specific risks to the community from extreme climate events have been identified, this has been drawn from the climate risk assessment undertaken by FPA for its assets in mid-2015. A description of recommended actions to address community resilience of the Mambourin community are included in Appendix 2.
Increase in extreme heat days
An increase in extreme heat days (number of days over 42 °C) leading to heat stress in the community. The following resilience actions are recommended:
• Potentially impacted persons will be engaged, through a Welcome Pack or other resources to be distributed as residents and owners. As the climate changes over time, the affected stakeholders will be engaged in planning for increased heat events to minimise sensitivity. To reduce climate effect impact on contractors in the area, alternative work practices may need to be considered. For example, scheduling maintenance outside of high heat stress hours.
• FPA will engage with emergency services, government agencies and community groups throughout the design process to enable preparedness for the effects of emergencies such as heatwaves. This would include details of safe shelter locations and function (i.e. nearby air-conditioned community facilities) as part of design development and project delivery (note: project completion due in 2025-2026) In addition, it will ensure the community is aware of relevant policy, increase community education on awareness of dangers of sun exposure/symptoms of heat stress and provide advice on how to stay cool in homes, public buildings and other residential institutions and workplaces.
• The advice given will incorporate information on the availability of heat wave alerts. FPA intend to provide to residents and owners relevant Welcome Pack including sustainability information and resilience actions.
• Information will include responses in a heatwave containing advice on the active identification and care of at-risk populations, measures to tackle high risk situations and transport breakdowns.
• Information to management of the development and tenants of retail spaces about limiting working hours of outdoor staff and managing any OH&S issues during high risk incidents.
Drought conditions
Drought conditions could result in reduced water availability and water restrictions, in turn this could lead to reduced water for homes, gardens and landscaped areas. As the impact of potable water availability increases into the future the water use/reuse plans for the site could be re-planned to form part of a more sophisticated system to reduce the impact of water shortages to the broader community.
In addition, drought conditions may also result in an increase in biological hazards near residents and recreation areas, including snakes and other potential harmful creatures, that may be in search of new water sources. To improve resilience, it is recommended that information on preparedness and response to water shortages, along with an increase in biological hazards will be provided to residents and owners
Intense storms
Intense rainfall and hail events can damage properties. Storms can lead to access & egress issues and electricity and communications infrastructure interruptions. In the case of one transport option being impacted, residents, as well as commercial and retail staff can choose alternative options. The following resilience action is recommended:
• Residents and owners will be informed about options to improve the resilience of their homes to storms and what to do in an extreme storm event.
• Residents and owners to be informed about critical road locations and routes for control and access for emergency procedures, including a response plan identifying emergency passage and access in extreme events
Localised flooding
Increase in rainfall can lead to localised flooding. The following resilience actions are recommended:
• Advice to residents and owners as part of the Welcome Pack will include access and egress information in the event the site and local streets be subjected to localised flooding.
• Resident groups will be encouraged to work with the Regional Emergency Management Office (REMO) and other agencies as identified in this CRP to co-coordinate appropriate responses to localised flooding.
• Encouragement for retail tenants to review long term financial plan, insurance and business continuity as a result of predicted future flood risk.
SAFETY
Through the Welcome Pack social media, newsletters and other resources, residents and owners will be encouraged to consider the following community safety aspects and processes as part of an Emergency Response Plan:
• Possible emergency incidents that could affect the development and how these could impact the safety of residents, contractors and visitors (e.g. flooding, extreme heat, road closures, bushfire smoke, etc.).
• Vulnerable persons or groups within the development.
• Actions that could be safely taken to mitigate the emergency incident prior to emergency services assistance and what actions should not be taken. For example, establishing a buddy system or contacting local volunteer networks/groups to help vulnerable persons during a heat wave.
