Central Orana Regional Drought Resilience Plan
Dubbo Regional Council and Narromine Shire Council, in partnership with the Australian Government and NSW Government, have developed the Central Orana Regional Drought Resilience Plan. The plan is a community-led roadmap to prepare for and respond to future droughts.
The plan is focussed on:
- Safeguarding community wellbeing
- Supporting sustainable farming and business
- Preserving natural resources
- Strengthening local knowledge and partnerships
By learning from previous droughts and planning ahead, this plan aims at building a stronger, more adaptable future for our region.

Upcoming Events
FUTURE PROOF: DROUGHT PREPAREDNESS ROADSHOW
25 - 30 AUGUST 2025
A week of ideas, innovation and community connection.
Join us for the series of events across Wellington, Narromine and Dubbo featuring expert panels, training, workshops and a special screening. Together, we'll explore how to adapt, prepare and thrive through future droughts.
Why this matters.
Drought affects all of us, from farmers and families to businesses and ecosystems. This event is about coming together as a region to share knowledge, support each other and take action for a more prepared and connected future.
Let's start the conversation now, because a stronger drought response begins before the drought does.
