Applications are now open for the State Government’s $5 million On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Rebate Scheme to support farmers across the state experiencing some of the worst dry conditions on record.

Primary producers can apply for rebates for on-farm infrastructure projects that assist in managing drought conditions and strengthen drought preparedness. Eligible projects include water infrastructure upgrades, stock containment areas, grain and fodder storage, soil moisture monitors and weather stations.

Eligible businesses will be reimbursed with a rebate of up to 75% (to a maximum of $5,000 GST exclusive).

The rebate scheme was announced as part of the State Government’s $18 million package aimed at assisting farming communities across South Australia affected by drought.

The scheme will close when the $5 million funding for this round is exhausted.
