flag Cessnock Council pauses non-essential climate spending amid financial pressures, requiring cost-benefit proof for future projects.

flag Cessnock Council has paused non-mandatory net zero spending to manage financial pressures, halting its 25-year Climate Change Resilience Plan due to rising cost-of-living concerns. flag The move, supported by council leaders, requires individual projects to prove value through cost-benefit analysis before approval, aiming to ensure fiscal responsibility. flag While large-scale climate commitments are on hold, projects with strong business cases may still proceed. flag Critics warn the pause could undermine long-term resilience and grant eligibility, and raise concerns that strict financial metrics might harm other essential services.
