Northern Hub: Planning for Resilience
June 2025 - June 2026
This project trials a property-level approach to drought planning that aligns with regional strategies and supports long-term resilience for pastoral stations in northern WA.
Building on the foundations of the Future Drought Fund-supported Regional Drought Resilience Plans (RDRPs), the project focuses on translating regional priorities into practical, station-scale action. It explores both preparedness and response strategies, identifies barriers to adoption, and develops tools to support timely, informed decision-making at the property level.

FRRR Voices of the Gascoyne
2023 - 2025
It’s often said, or at least I like to say, that the best project ideas come from going down the rabbit hole. That’s exactly how Voices of the Gascoyne came to life: over a cup of coffee, listening to a former pastoralist share their story.
