Drought Assistance

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().17 June 2025).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

As at 17 June 2025, $2,589,563 is yet to be allocated in the program.

The participating charities are now working to use the remaining budget to target deliveries to areas most in need.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions is also closely monitoring seasonal conditions and will consider the need for further funding if necessary.
