Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources David Littleproud is scheduled to tour drought affected towns in northern NSW and southern Queensland later this week.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison recently pledged an extra $100 million for affected communities, also providing the Moyne Shire Council in southwest Victoria $1 million as the Bureau of Meteorology predicted that 62 per cent of that shire would be in drought.
The drought tour will be conducted for three days- Minister Littleproud urging states to build more dams during this dry spell.
