Drought transport subsidies
New South Wales Department of Primary Industries will rebate 50% of the transport costs for movements of:
- water for domestic use
- water and fodder for stock
- stock to and from agistment
- stock to sale/slaughter.
The drought transport subsidies for livestock help ensure animal welfare for drought-affected stock by assisting farmers with the cost of transporting water, fodder and stock to agistment or sale/slaughter. The subsidies are not for production purposes.
These rebates apply to primary producers in a drought-affected area of New South Wales, subject to eligibility criteria. Eligibility criteria are provided for each rebate application form.
