The Morrison government is being forced to review all 123 councils eligible for drought relief after it admitted it used the wrong weather data to award a million dollars to a waterlogged Victorian shire.

Councillors in Moyne Shire were shocked to learn that they were one of 13 additional local government areas to win a slice of the $100 million drought relief package, after experiencing one of its best seasons in years.

The government on Monday night admitted to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that the Department of Infrastructure had used the wrong weather data in awarding the grant and that would trigger a review of the entire process.

Moyne Shire met will meet on Tuesday morning to officially reject the funding as the shockwaves of one wrong decision rocks the entire project.
