JOINT STATEMENT
The Palaszczuk Government is continuing to roll out drought assistance measures with more than 8,000 Queensland state land lessees set to receive a 12 month land rent reprieve.
Resources Minister Scott Stewart said about 65 per cent of Queensland is officially drought declared and giving eligible landholders more time to pay their bills is a small way the Palaszczuk Government can help during these tough times.
“More than $26.5 million in annual land rent is being deferred for primary production leases, licences and permits in the drought declared areas for the next 12 months,” he said
“While the wet season has brought needed relief for some areas of Queensland, there are still 40 local governments drought declared.
