The engagement we undertake the week of 27 November marks the beginning of a long-term conversa�on
between our at-risk communi�es and BDC. We have very challenging conversa�ons and decisions to come, and
it’s important we build trust and confidence across our communi�es.
Addi�onally, because climate and natural hazards are high-stakes and triggering for much of the Bul er
community (and receive significant local media aten�on) we also need to align:
Key ques�ons/issues to explore:
1. Engagement �ming. WCRC have pushed back one week. Our team brought forward by 2 weeks. Our
original �ming (11 Dec) was determined so that BDC would only have one engagement going on at a
�me (currently pre LTP). 27th Nov or 11 Dec are our teams two windows. What are the �melines
WCRC are working to? What’s going to work best for all, and for the community?
2. What’s the format for the engagement, and what material wil be involved?
3. How wil it be adver�sed?
4. What does the WCRC informa�on mean for the community?
5. Are there further engagement sessions planned in 2024 in rela�on to natural
hazards/climate: where/on what?
6. Do we (Tom) have the updated hazard layers they are using for the TToP varia�on?
