On 3 March 2025, the Eyre Peninsula Regional Drought Resilience Plan (EPRDRP) was officially endorsed by the Australian Government.
Regional Development Australia Eyre Peninsula in partnership with the Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association, Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board, and Ag Innovation and Research EP, the Plan was developed under the Australian Government’s Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program through the Future Drought Fund.
The Plan identifies strategies and opportunities to help the Eyre Peninsula prepare for, respond to, and recover from drought and climate variability. Its endorsement is a key step in unlocking Australian Government and other funding for drought resilience initiatives across the region.
Focusing on the agricultural sector and allied industries, the Plan recognises the broader impacts of drought on communities, the environment, and the regional economy. It encourages action at all levels—on farms, in communities, and regionally—to build resilience through improved practices, infrastructure, community wellbeing, and partnerships, including with First Nations peoples.
