Weddin Landcare is offering subsidies for farm owners, farm managers and future farmers within the Weddin Landcare District to undertake a professional training and development opportunity to improve their skills in managing their farm business and/or the natural resources on their farm, with the aim of fostering best-practice, sustainable agriculture and natural resource management.
This initiative is part of Weddin Landcare’s Over the Fence project, which is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program under the Natural Heritage Trust.
Applicants can apply for up to 50% of the cost of their training course, to a maximum of $1,000 (GST excl) per farm business.
The funding is limited and competitive, which may mean that not all applicants will be funded. Subsidies will be offered on a first-in, first served basis, based on the date the expression of interest was received, provided applicants meet the eligibility criteria. Â
Training must be able to be completed between 1 December 2025 and 31 October 2026. Weddin Landcare will need to approve of the course, which must be related to farm business management or natural resource management. Applicants will need to read and agree to Terms and Conditions of the funding.
