On Monday 30 July 2018, the NSW Government announced a $500 million NSW Emergency Drought Relief Package to help farmers manage the effects of the current drought.
The three major elements of the $500 million NSW Emergency Drought Relief Package are:
-
$190 million for Drought Transport Subsidies
-
$100 million for cutting the cost of farming fees and charges – by waiving Local Land Services rates, waiving fixed water charges in rural and regional areas, and waiving class one agricultural vehicle registration costs
-
$150 million to bolster the Farm Innovation Fund (FIF) infrastructure program
