Our changing climate and hotter weather, localised flooding and greater bushfire risk



In 2014 the predictions for the climate in the future were of great concern and would be subject to much argument.

Those who believed the climate was changing expected that the mid north coast would face
higher temperatures, but also endure unexpected periods of damaging storms and cold periods, as a result of all the changes.

The change in temperature of the oceans would affect weather patterns.

By the end of 2014 more refined information became available with the "NSW/ACT Regional Climate Modelling System able to deliver resolution of impacts down to a 10 kilometre scale".

The only safe approach was to prepare for all situations and if this meant building natural and made man structures, just in case, so be it.

In renewing the landscape, care was taken to minimise the risk of bush fires. Hemp paddocks proved to be useful tool in reducing fire risk. Forests were arranged to provide greatest advantage of migrating animals, many looking for new areas as the temperatures increased.
