The Drought Support Package is now open to Victorian farmers. This includes opening of the On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Grants program statewide, with updated guidelines and expanded eligible activities.
The program, managed by Rural Finance, makes available co-contribution grants of $5,000 for all primary producers across the state. Eligible activities under the grant program now include pasture re-establishment and water carting – reflecting the wide-ranging pressures farmers are facing and ensuring support reaches where it’s needed most.
