Moree Plains and Narrabri Regional Drought Resilience Plan

New South Wales

Our vision

“We are joined by a common love of the land, and we nurture it as the basis of our prosperity and well-being. We see immense value in the small things that link and fuse our farms, towns, business and landscape; our people, friends, family and networks. We understand drought will come again. We prepare for this by choosing new pathways as needed and acting on our significant regional strengths in landscape, skills and community spirit.”

The Moree Plains and Narrabri 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.
