Read the Executive Summary.

As part of the project, we have published three regional reports. These provide a starting point for understanding drought impacts and risks in our regions. Drought resilience was determined by analysing the potential drought impact (risk) and adaptive capacity of each of the eight LGAs in the Northern region.

Droughts occurred in the Northern region of Tasmania in 2006, 2015 and 2019. These events offer insights on the impacts to agriculture and the natural environment, and the potential resilience of communities to future droughts.

The insights from this report has helped us in understanding areas of community risk, vulnerabilities and strengths.
