A regional discussion was held on 10 October 2013, with participants representing regional partners and the Project Control Group members. The regional partner organisations represented were:
- Barwon Water
- Corangamite Catchment Management Authority
- Department of Environment and Primary Industries
- Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority
- Parks Victoria
- Powercor
- Soil Carbon Research Program (DEPI)
- VicRoads
- Wannon Water
- Western Coastal Board
During the discussion the results of the regional vulnerability assessment were presented, and initial risks and actions to address these risks were identified.
The involvement of the regional partners is integral to building the resilience of the Region. The partners are responsible for key components of the Region which will be impacted by the projected changes to the weather as well as being necessary in any responses. This includes critical infrastructure, water, coasts and catchment management. All these elements are used by and relied upon by the community and the involvement of all aspects of the Region is necessary for a holistic and effective adaptation response.
