We are preparing for a very dry summer as this winters rainfall has been low- so plan your garden accordingly i.e. avoid using high maintenance, water loving plants. If you have a relatively established garden, look at what has done well and repeat. If you are starting a new garden, look at using water-wise species, preferably local and endemic and use a lot of mulch (Heavier mulches are better as they don't rot or blow away as quickly).
