Drought has significant impact on the wellbeing of people and communities across Tropical North Queensland.
Drought affects all industries but particularly Tropical North Queensland agriculture industries including sugar, beef, dairy, vegetable, citrus and tropical fruit.
The Australian Government will contribute $8 million over 4 years through the Future Drought Fund. Hub partners will provide co-contributions of $18.5 million over 4 years.
Through the hub, farmers, Indigenous landholders, communities, researchers and business will come together to co-design approaches and solutions for drought resilience in Tropical North Queensland.
The hub will also input into building critical skills as a key input in building resilience to drought and leveraging new tools, approaches and technology.
The TNQ Hub is made up of 6 Nodes. Please select your local Node below for more information and contact details for your local Drought Resilience Officer.
The TNQ Hub is nearing commencement for a number of Projects relating to drought resilience. Please keep an eye on this space for Project updates and feel free to contact the TNQ Hub Knowledge Broker, Rachel Hay, if you would like any information regarding drought resilient projects and activities in the Tropical North Queensland region.

We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this country and pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and Elders, past and present, of the land on which we stand today, the Djabugay (pronounced Jap-ur-kai), Yirrganydji (pronounced Irri-kan-dji) and the Gimuy Yidinji (pronounced Goom-eye Yidinji) people (and all other country/people joining us today).
In the spirit of reconciliation, we also acknowledge the valuable contribution that Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to make to James Cook University and the broader community.
