Regional Drought Resilience Planning
Planning by the regions, for the regions.
The Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program is being delivered with joint funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the NSW Government.
The Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program provides support to identified Local Government Areas in NSW to develop drought resilience plans that can be implemented by councils and their communities.
The NSW and Australian Governments expanded the program to more regions in NSW following the pilot phase of the program.
The program requires councils to work at a regional scale and encourages them to think about drought resilience beyond water security, considering environmental and social resilience needs.
For more information including successful applicants, please visit the Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program grants page.
Applications for Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program Round 1, 2022-2024 and Round 2, 2023-2025 have now closed.
