Contribute to the design of projects addressing Regional Drought Resilience on the Darling Downs.
Now that the Regional Drought Resilience Plans have been formally approved by both the state and Australian Governments, we’re moving into the exciting next phase: shaping an Implementation Plan that turns broad ideas into practical, well-designed projects.
To help make this happen, we’re hosting a series of short, interactive roundtable discussions with local stakeholders, about the important steps and elements needed to most effectively implement these projects in the Darling Downs region.
It’s also a chance for participants to highlight the projects and priorities they believe will make the biggest difference in strengthening the region’s resilience for future droughts. While not every idea will immediately lead to funded activity, the feedback gathered will play a critical role in shaping projects that are realistic, impactful and ready for future investment opportunities.
The Plan is available online: https://rdrpqld.org.au/region/darling-downs-region/
