The Northern Western Australia and Northern Territory Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub will be one of eight national Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs created as an initiative of the Future Drought Fund. The consortium of regional partners is committed to building the resilience and sustainable prosperity of rural industries and communities across the region.

The Hub will transform the drought resilience of farmers, traditional owners and communities in the Northern Territory and Northern Western Australian tropical Top End and rangelands. This will be achieved by focusing on pastoral, broadacre, horticulture and forestry systems and water management.

The Hub is jointly funded through Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the consortium membership which includes industry bodies (Kimberly Pilbara Cattlemen’s Association, Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association, Northern Territory Farmers Association) as well as NRM organisations (Territory NRM, WA Rangelands NRM), Regional Development Australia and government agencies (WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and the NT Department of Industry Tourism and Trade).
