The WA Government has committed an additional $1 million to the Southern Rangelands Revitalisation Program, including protective fencing, for pastoralists to build resilient, sustainable businesses across Western Australia’s Southern Rangelands.
This boost will see 10 new stations from the Gascoyne, Murchison, and Goldfields regions joining the program, supporting landholders in adopting innovative land management strategies that enhance climate and business resilience.
Strengthening Pastoral Operations Through Innovation
The new projects will focus on key sustainability measures such as:
- Supporting revegetation efforts with protective fencing for controlled grazing.
- Managing grazing pressures through rotational grazing systems.
- Rehydrating landscapes by decentralising watering points.
- Establishing grass seed nurseries to enhance native pasture regeneration.
These initiatives aim to improve rangeland conditions, land productivity, and livestock management, creating a pathway for long-term environmental and economic gains.
Empowering Pastoralists with Training and Support
Participants recently completed a tailored grazing management training program and will continue to benefit from:
- Ongoing access to expert advice and field support.
- Regular group meetings to foster collaboration and share insights.
- Opportunities to apply for grants of up to $75,000 to implement project proposals.
