Armidale and Uralla Regional Drought Resilience Plan

New South Wales

Our vision

“Through collective preparedness, the Armidale Region and Uralla Shire is on the front foot to respond to the impacts of drought. We take advantage of the productive times and manage the low periods with an understanding of the pressures in our region and the scenarios we may face. We value the local assets we have in our community and build on these by acting together and acting proactively.”

The Armidale and Uralla region's Regional Drought Resilience Plan under the Future Drought Fund — community-owned, evidence-based, identifying actions to prepare for future droughts. Extracted from the published plan.
