History of drought policy
The Australian Government’s current approach to drought policy has been informed by its history.
States and territories have primary legislative and administrative responsibility for natural resources and agriculture. This includes:
- land use
- water management
- drought response and planning.
However, all levels of government, industry and the community play a role in drought management and resilience.
Drought policy
Drought is a recurring feature of the Australian landscape. It is forecast to become more frequent, severe and longer lasting in many regions as the climate changes.
Taxation measures - Australian Taxation Office
Primary producers affected by drought or natural disasters
The Australian Taxation Office can help farm businesses affected by drought and other natural disasters with:
- more time to pay
- waiving penalties or interest charged at a time you were affected by drought
- payment plans with interest free periods
- adjusting pay as you go (PAYG) instalments to better suit your circumstances
- tax incentives for primary producers.
