This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This is the administrative framework for the Drought Resilience Funding Plan 2020–2024, established under the Future Drought Fund Act 2019. It sets out when the plan starts (the day after registration) and when it automatically expires (4 years later). The plan is intended to guide how federal drought resilience money is handed out through grants, arrangements, and agreements. However, the actual plan content—including what projects get funded, who can apply, and how much money is available—is contained in Schedule 1, which is not provided here.
