We’re excited to see the completion of the Wheatbelt Regional Drought Resilience Plan, a long-term roadmap to help communities prepare for future drought challenges.

Developed through collaboration across government, industry and local communities, the plan outlines practical actions to strengthen water security, support agriculture and build resilience across the Wheatbelt.

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Sheep Producers Australia in The Green Sheep Project, a bold national effort to future proof Australia's sheep industry.

Over the next three years, The Green Sheep Project will support producers with practical climate smart tools to boost sustainability, improve pasture and grazing management, and strengthen environmental credentials across the supply chain.

At Wheatbelt NRM, we're proud to be part of a truly collaborative approach — from producers to processors — working together to build resilience, drive innovation and secure long term success for our industry.

Stay tuned as we roll out on farm trials here in WA and support local producers in making data driven, sustainable decisions.

eDNA technology is providing a breakthrough in detecting the elusive Chuditch, a vulnerable marsupial that is hard to trace due to its nocturnal and solitary habits. Wheatbelt NRM is trialling this innovative tool in the Eucalypt Woodlands of the WA Wheatbelt, helping to pinpoint critical habitats for conservation. This method offers a more efficient way to detect and protect species like the Chuditch, which face threats from introduced predators, habitat loss, and human activity. Join us for free community events in March and April to learn more about how eDNA is shaping the future of wildlife conservation.

Building on the success of our Optimising Fodder for Mixed Farming project, Wheatbelt NRM will work with farmers in the Avon River Basin to create biodiverse forage systems that enhance soil health and farm productivity. Demonstrations will highlight methods to boost productivity and natural capital, with workshops and case studies sharing this knowledge across the wheatbelt.

This project supports private landholders to protect and improve the habitat values of Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo breeding and foraging sites, which also benefits Wheatbelt Eucalypt Woodland Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) where they co-exist. Project actions include revegetating with key food plants, improving nesting habitat through controlling stock access, regeneration, pest management, and erecting artificial nesting structures. The project will work with community and landholders to further contribute to improving our knowledge and management of Black-Cockatoos by surveying for undiscovered sites and mapping critical habitat.
