PRIVATE research company AgEcon Australia has received $6 million from the Federal Government’s Future Drought Fund to investigate a suite of issues around securing irrigation water, renewable energy, and climate science.

Partners in the five-year project which kicked off this month include Macquarie University and the University of Southern Queensland, with a major investment from the Cotton Research and Development Corporation.

Other stakeholders include Sugar Research Australia, Horticulture Innovation Australia, and the Ricegrowers’ Association of Australia, and the $6M in FDF funding adds to around $7M in total in in-kind support from all partners.

AgEcon is based in the north-west New South Wales town of Burren Junction, and its project was one of only eight from a field of 120 gain FDF funds in the current round.

“We have teamed up with some of the best and brightest minds in the nation to find solutions to saving water, understanding climate processes, ensuring efficient land use, and exploring new business opportunities for energy generation,” AgEcon partner Janine Powell said.

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

Maintaining hygienic community spaces through a sanitisation service may support public health, build trust, and help shared environments remain safe and welcoming.

 Shared spaces such as schools, businesses, and community facilities rely on consistent hygiene practices to remain safe for visitors and staff. A professional sanitisation service focuses on reducing bacteria and viruses on frequently touched surfaces using approved disinfectants and specialised equipment. Unlike routine cleaning, sanitisation targets microorganisms that may remain on surfaces long after visible dirt is removed. As awareness of preventive hygiene grows across Australia, organisations are increasingly adopting structured sanitisation programs to support healthier environments. Combined with responsible cleaning practices and community awareness, professional sanitisation may help reduce contamination risks while maintaining confidence in the spaces people use every day.

Why Safe Driving Matters for Families Attending Activities Like Legs Dance Studio

Safe travel habits support the routines, connections, and opportunities that community activities provide.

Regular trips to extracurricular activities such as a legs dance studio place families on the road several times each week, often during busy or low-visibility periods. Safe driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and thoughtful planning may reduce risks and make travel more manageable. Parking courtesy, reliable vehicles, and awareness of local traffic conditions all contribute to safer journeys. Community programs depend on consistent attendance, and safe transport helps make that possible. By modelling responsible driving and planning trips carefully, families support not only their children’s activities but also the safety and wellbeing of their wider community.
