Huon Leads
Disaster Challenge

Huon Valley’s coastal resilience project took first place at the 2025 Disaster Challenge. Learn how our community-led solutions are tackling erosion and inspiring national change.

Shaping Cygnet's
future

Strong community engagement revealed clear priorities: protect heritage, improve transport, boost connectivity. Help design key sites at the workshop this November.
