But Singleton farmers are suffering equally in what is the worst drought on record.
"I have previously written to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Water Resources, Drought, Rural Finance, Natural Disaster and Emergency Management to express my disappointment that Singleton continues to be overlooked for assistance," said Cr Sue Moore.
"In light of today's announcement of 52 councils added to the list of eligible councils for the Federal Government's Drought Communities Program, I reiterate my invitation to the Prime Minister to come to Singleton to see the impacts of this drought for himself, and to meet with the people this government has again failed to recognise."
The Singleton local government area is a farming region predominantly covered with primary production farming land that has an output of $161+ million annually and contributes 455 direct jobs.
"We fear that due to Singleton's extraordinary output in mining of $8,062 million annually, the Department of Agriculture has overlooked the impact the drought is having on the Singleton farming community.
"Again, I appeal to the Federal Government to include the Singleton local government area as an eligible area under the Drought Community Program, and for our farming community to be given the opportunity to submit funding applications for drought related projects and programs to ensure the future of our agricultural industry."
