Overview
The National On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate provides drought affected livestock farmers with a rebate to help them with the costs of purchasing, installing and upgrading on-farm water infrastructure.
The aim of the scheme is to improve farm resilience to drought by:
- addressing animal welfare needs during drought
- assisting primary producers to be more resilient for future droughts
- assisting primary producers to be more productive through the installation of new water infrastructure
- assisting in mitigating the degradation of natural watering points.
The rebate applies to the purchase and installation of emergency water infrastructure for livestock, including:
- pipes
- tanks and troughs associated with stock watering
- water pumps
- de-silting works of existing dams
- drilling new stock water bores and associated power supply e.g. generators.
