Turn Down the Heat is a WSROC-led initiative that takes a collaborative, multi-sector approach to building a cooler, more resilient future for Western Sydney.

The Turn Down the Heat Strategy and Action Plan (2018) was co-designed by over 55 stakeholders who recognise that the response to extreme heat and heatwaves is a shared responsibility.

The strategy outlines five key areas for action:

• Take action together
• Design and plan to cool the built environment
• Cool with green space and water
• Build a community that is healthy and prepared
• Innovative and responsive infrastructure
