We step out of town, along the dusty gravel roads, to check out how some members of the farming community are working to keep water longer on the land.

The process is designed to lift carrying capacity and profit, boost diversity and improve landscape hydrology. This internationally recognised approach is being applied to properties around Australia.

So, what does this type of farming mean in practice, what can it do for river catchments, and how does it contribute to the work of local governments in the Namoi?

In this episode, we hear from holistic farmer and educator Craig Carter. Craig and his wife, Nicky Chirlian, own Tallawang, 445 hectares of mixed Grazing for Profit and Natural Sequence Farming.

How do we secure water as the critical enabler for communities, economies and the environment in the context of a changing climate?

Like much of NSW, the Namoi region is recovering from the worst drought in living memory.

In this exciting new podcast series, Climate Resilience: Namoi, you’ll hear directly from staff and councillors from the Walcha Shire and Tamworth Regional councils about their experiences of unprecedented drought, and how they are preparing for a future of climate uncertainty.   

And we’ll bring you to a farm on the Liverpool Plains that is working to keep water in the land for longer and helping ensure a viable future for agriculture.

The podcasts are proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Local Government NSW through the Increasing Resilience to Climate Change Program.

Climate Resilience

How do we secure water as the critical enabler for communities, economies and the environment in the context of a changing climate?

How do we keep water in the landscape for longer whether that’s in cities or towns, in the home or on the street?

Big changes are under way in how citizens and their governments think about water, and local government is critical in bringing about these shifts in thinking.

This exciting new podcast, Climate Resilience, is for those on the frontline: council staff and policy makers concerned with changing water use practices from the ground up.

In two series, we dive deep into the issues:

• In the Namoi region, we look at how councils are preparing for unprecedented drought with limited water for public works and keeping towns alive.

• In the Shoalhaven, we look at emerging policy and practice around the best way to use the water we have, via water sensitive urban design.
