Rebate scheme to support producers affected by natural disasters

Jo Palmer, Minister for Primary Industries and Water

In a joint effort to assist Tasmanian producers affected by drought or natural disasters, the Federal and State Governments have announced an extension to the On-Farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme.

The scheme provides financial support for acquiring, installing, and/or repairing damaged on-farm water infrastructure.

Under the scheme, the water infrastructure must help address one of the following:

  • animal welfare;
  • the resilience of primary producers against future droughts;
  • repair and replacement of damaged water infrastructure to aid recovery from natural disasters; and
  • support permanent planting requirements.
