Investment Planning for Impact

Southern NSW Innovation Hub's four-stage Investment Planning for Impact process aims to identify the most important drought and climate resilience opportunities or issues our stakeholders want to address for our region.

Investment Planning for Impact Process

The Hub's Investment Planning for Impact started with co-design workshops held in 2024.

For our five of our key impact areas, southern NSW stakeholders identified at workshops issues, opportunities, or problems affecting their region and mapped what success looked like. This led to the below reports which identify what needs to be done in each area to move towards success, and guide the investment planning process through stages two, three to four.

Enhancing and Preserving the Natural Environment
Soil Health (now Soil Resilience)
Water and Water Use
Regional Social and Cultural Resilience
Ground and Canopy Cover

Please note:

A new Hub Key Impact Area - Farming Systems and Decisions - was confirmed in 2025 which is focused on helping farmers to navigate drought and climate challenges and make informed decisions that build farm system resilience and profitability.
Investment planning for our sixth Key Impact Area First Nations Community Resilience is in progress and will be guided by our First Nations Engagement Group.
