Wheatbelt NRM is working with the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, through the Wheatbelt Development Commission on this project. The project will talk with communities to gauge attitudes toward drought and contribute to a Drought Vulnerability and Resilience Framework for the Southern Wheatbelt region.
The Resilience Framework has been developed by project advisory groups from the Mid-West, Wheatbelt and Great Southern. It underpins the Regional Drought Resilience Plan which is designed to capture the overall experiences of drought across this vast region and uncover innovative ways to build resilience across agricultural industries.
Wheatbelt communities will have the opportunity to share their drought experiences through online surveys, one-on-one interviews and community group meetings. The consultation period has already commenced and closes at the end of June.
This program is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
