Community-based organisations will be eligible to apply for a grant of between$200,000 and $500,000 to strengthen community networks, capabilities and facilities that support drought preparedness.
Successful applicants will also have access to tailored leadership development support for their communities.
“I encourage all eligible community-based organisations to apply for a sizeable grant that will give more protections to rural Queensland,” Mr Littleproud said.
