Drought Information

Murray River Council recognises the vital role agriculture plays in our region and the importance of ensuring our community is supported to prepare for, respond to and recover from drought conditions.

This page brings together information, resources and assistance available through local, State and Federal Government programs, as well as community and industry support services. Whether you are seeking financial assistance, mental health support, business advice, water and feed information, or wellbeing resources, help is available.

Council is committed to working alongside all levels of government, industry organisations and local support agencies to help our farming communities remain resilient, connected and supported through challenging times.
