Get ready for the next ‘dry’ — access Drought Preparedness grants
Primary producers can access up to $50,000 (co-contribution) to invest in permanent infrastructure that strengthens drought resilience — from water systems and bores to feed storage and handling equipment.
The grant covers up to 25 per cent of project costs and supports works identified in your Farm Business Resilience Plan, helping you plan ahead and stay productive in tough seasons.
Funding is limited, with $20 million allocated over four years (including 2025–26), so applications are subject to availability.
If you’re planning upgrades that will set your property up for the long term, it’s worth checking your eligibility and applying at the Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) website.
