Together we are resilient.


The Outback SA Drought Resilience Plan was developed with the community, for the community. 

Thank you to all of the community members and regional stakeholders that told us what is needed to strengthen drought resilience so the plan can drive the change you want for your future.

The process

The Outback SA Regional Drought Resilience Plan was prepared by combining regional experiences, knowledge and priorities with a strong literature base.

Building from what we already have, learning from what has worked well or hasn’t worked well in the past, we can drive meaningful change.

We know that every region needs a highly tailored approach, and that a one-size-fits-all approach will never work for the Outback SA region. That’s why listening to our communities to understand exactly what they need was such an important part of the project.

The plan followed five key phases:

Phase 1: Literature review and knowledge stocktake

Phase 2: Engaging with our regions

Phase 3: Developing the draft Regional Drought Resilience Plan

Phase 4: Review and refine

Phase 5: Implementation

This program is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Government of South Australia.
