Summary
Description
This data series includes datasets showing current full and part local government area drought declarations and duration of historic drought declarations across Queensland. Drought declarations are made by the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries based on the advice of Local Drought Committees (LDCs). LDCs will recommend a declaration when an area meets the Queensland Government's drought criteria, principally a one in 10 year rainfall deficiency, amongst other significant factors.
