Our first Greening Strategy We examined the effectiveness of our current greening actions and reviewed ‘best practice’ from around NSW to develop the Strategy. Being the first MidCoast Greening Strategy, the focus is on collecting data to better understand our priorities across the MidCoast and undertaking trial projects to determine the techniques and activities that work more effectively than others. Future versions of the Strategy will build upon on these findings, with a shift to more on the ground projects that are led by the data and knowledge collected. It is intended to review this Strategy within five years. The Strategy needs to be flexible and adaptive. Recent unprecedented events that commenced with a drought in 2018/19, bushfires, the COVID pandemic and floods have adjusted our priorities and how we work. With continued technological advances, new ideas and adaptive solutions, we need to ensure that the Strategy is flexible and regularly reviewed in order to achieve the best greening outcomes for the MidCoast.
