Drought Support
The South Australian Government is offering a range of drought assistance to support eligible primary producers to assist with farm business costs. This includes a rebate for South Australian Council (Local Government) Rates. The South Australian Council Rebate Scheme provides funding to eligible applicants to access a rebate of up to 50% (and no more than $7,500/financial year) of ordinary council rates. Eligible applicants can access the rebate for each of the 2019/20 and 2020/21 financial years.
