About us

Charles Sturt University is proud to lead the Southern NSW Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub, one of eight hubs funded by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund to enhance drought preparedness and resilience through economic, environmental, and community initiatives.

Based at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, the Southern NSW Innovation Hub enables regional stakeholders to have a voice in drought resilience activities, collaborate with experts, gain access to resources, and participate in adoption programs such as workshops, seminars and field days.

Coverage

Map of the Southern NSW Region - described in text

The northern boundary of the Southern NSW Innovation Hub is described by a line from Broken Hill to Cobar, which joins the Macquarie catchment northern boundary near Quambone. We include most of the Macquarie River catchment, specifically the higher elevation areas in the upper reaches and Macquarie River-dependent irrigation areas, and lower reaches of the Darling River, south of 32 degrees latitude.

The Southern NSW Innovation Hub boundary follows the western and southern edges of the Hunter catchment, joins the northern edges of the Sydney Catchment near Kandos and meets the coast near the mouth of the Hawkesbury River. Our southern and western boundaries are the Victorian and South Australian state borders.
