Regional Drought Resilience Plan - Southern Riverina
The Southern Riverina Drought Resilience Plan has been developed through the collaboration of Berrigan Shire, Edward River, Murray River and Federation Councils’ communities.
We have worked closely with the Department of Regional NSW and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to deliver this Plan. The project was jointly funding by the by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the NSW Government’s Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program.
The Plan outlines the work we need to take as a larger community to become more resilient to that change and more adaptable to the climate conditions we face.
It reflects the desires of our community for us to achieve the following, even in the face of drought:
- sustainable landscapes
- connected people, cultures and improved community wellbeing
- diverse and resilient local businesses and regional economies
- resilient built infrastructure and complimentary technologies, and
- good governance models that share knowledge and promote skills development.
The Plan aligns with national drought resilience programs and will evolve through ongoing collaboration with community groups, industry, and research institutions.
