Glenorchy

Sparking Conversations, Igniting Action is a community bushfire resilience project working closely with 12 small neighbourhood groups across Clarence, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough.

In Glenorchy, our team will be working in Austins Ferry, Claremont and West Moonah. Each of these neighbourhoods is characterised by a different bushfire risk profile and the mix of people who call it home.

Within each neighbourhood our team will work with up to 200 households to explore ways of better preparing for bushfire.

Our team will also be hosting community events, like forums and workshops, to create and strengthen community connections that help to build resilience to bushfire.
