The Government of South Australia is offering a rebate of up to 75% to primary producers for implementing eligible on-farm infrastructure that enhances drought management and preparedness.
The On-Farm Drought Infrastructure Rebate Scheme aims to assist primary producers in implementing infrastructure projects that assist with managing current drought conditions and strengthen preparedness for future droughts.
Successful applicants must be able to cover the full cost of the infrastructure and will be reimbursed through the grant for 75% of the total cost up to a maximum grant of $5,000 GST exclusive. Applicants must contribute at least 25% of the total infrastructure cost. Other government funding, including grants, concessional loans, or insurance claim funds, cannot be used towards the applicant’s contribution.
Pre-approval of eligible activities for which costs are yet to be incurred may be obtained to provide certainty of receiving funding. Pre-approved activities must be completed within six months of the written pre-approval date.
The rebate is available for infrastructure activities that enhance drought management and preparedness:
- Costs associated with setting up or improving stock containment areas.
- Costs associated with the purchase and installation or upgrading of efficient water systems for irrigation.
- Costs associated with improving water infrastructure for livestock management.
- Costs associated with the adoption of technologies for improved drought management.
- Costs associated for labour of an external contractor to install, and repair or replace infrastructure set out in the eligible activities.
Only one application per ABN will be accepted.
