Horsham Rural City Council advises that the 2025 Rural Revegetation Program will not proceed this year due to supplier price increases and budget constraints.
While this decision was not made lightly, the rising costs associated with the program have made it unfeasible to deliver in its current form for 2025.
However, Council remains committed to supporting rural landowners with revegetation initiatives, and the program has only been suspended — not cancelled. Plans are in place to reinstate the program in the future.
HRCC acknowledges the importance of the Rural Revegetation Program in enhancing biodiversity, reducing erosion and supporting sustainable land management practices.
Council will continue to explore options to ensure the program's long-term viability.
Further updates will be provided as planning progresses. Council thanks the community for its understanding and ongoing support.
