Eyre Peninsula let’s get planning and be drought ready.
Drought is not new to the Eyre Peninsula, nor is variability and changing patterns of rainfall. People on the Eyre Peninsula have a long history of adapting to these dry conditions and have been leaders and innovators in developing enhanced and new ways to ensure the continued viability and sustainability of their farms, communities, landscapes and economy.
The Draft Eyre Peninsula Regional Drought Resilience Plan is now open for public consultation. We welcome your feedback via this survey, closing 5pm 22 August.
This variability and changing patterns of rainfall, including future droughts, is projected to continue, and therefore maintaining and building the Eyre Peninsula’s drought resilience is critical.
That’s why we are planning for the dry by preparing the Eyre Peninsula Regional Drought Resilience Plan.
This program is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Government of South Australia.
