New Drought Support Announced
A $27 million drought fund has been announced to target simplified solutions for farmers and rural communities.
The federal government has released this funding package to help cope with future droughts and extreme weather events, as parts of Australia continue to grapple with long-standing drought conditions.
Predictions from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) point to a hot and dry summer ahead, particularly in already drought-stricken regions of southern Australia.
The new funding is specifically designed to expand and scale up existing drought resilience projects, as part of the Scaling Success program.
