Round Three of the DRF will provide up to $200 million of Australian Government investment in 2025-26. The DRF is currently the most significant funding source for Local Government disaster resilience and risk reduction projects.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has introduced changes for Round Three, summarised on the DFES website. Local Governments should review the Round Three Guidelines, Application How-to-Guide and the other various resources available on the DFES website to prepare strong applications.
DFES is the Lead Agency for DRF Applications from WA and the Indian Ocean Territories (IOT) for Round Three. Project Proposals must be submitted via the online application portal by 5PM (AWST) on Wednesday, 2 April. Late submissions will not be accepted.
In Round Two, WA Local Governments secured funding for 26 projects, including fire danger rating signage, community communications, and evacuation centre improvements.
Local Governments are also encouraged to contact Department of Communities to discuss opportunities for applying to DRF to improve evacuation facilities via [email protected].
