Across the Fence farming

Goulburn Mulwaree Council and Wingecarribee Shire Council have secured funding through the Future Drought Fund to support our ATFF event which aims to benefit rural landholders in both districts. The ATFF project, is designed to address challenges faced by lifestyle landholders managing properties between 5 and 40 hectares by encouraging neighbours to work together, combining land resources and management skills. The initiative aims to create more drought resilient, productive, and biodiverse landscapes while fostering stronger community connections.

The Across the Fence Farming project is about bringing neighbours together "Across The Fence" to learn about nature positive practices that increase biodiversity and make for healthy and resilient landscapes in all climate conditions. We believe, sharing land, livestock, machinery, labour and resources can return subdivided land to prime condition for profitable farming and help to restore biodiverse ecosystems. We believe in helping to build a community that is able to come together and become more resilient by preparing, in advance, for the inevitable challenges of drought, fire and flood.
