The Disaster Ready Fund (DRF) Round Three is expected to open in January 2025, offering $200 million in funding nationwide. The DRF is currently the most significant funding source for Local Government disaster resilience and risk reduction projects.
WA Local Governments were successful in securing funding for 26 projects in Round 2 of the DRF, ranging from community safety Australian Fire Danger Rating signs to supporting community connectivity in times of disaster and evacuation centre upgrades and redevelopments.
Feedback from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on the key features of successful Round Two applications is available here and may help you prepare a strong application.
For further information and examples of previously successful projects please visit the Department of Fire and Emergency Service (DFES) website.
