The consultation process seeking ways in which to modernise the Research and Development Corporation system is now open.
Submissions close 4 November 2019.
Our community would be aware of those RDCs that impact the Wheatbelt including the GRDC, MLA and AWI.
Minister for Agriculture Bridget McKenzie said Australian agriculture is an international success story and the Government is working to ensure farmers can build on that success.
“If we’re to position agriculture as an agile, industry of choice for the 21st century we need to see what improvements we can make that will help us get there.
“This discussion paper is about modernising our agricultural research and development to ensure the RDC system is delivering value for our levy and taxpayers into the future.”
We have a draft response and thought it would be valuable to share it with the Wheatbelt community so that we:
- Can inspire you to do your own response
- Can hear back from you on what you think about what we have had to say (email us at info@wheatbeltnrm.org.au) Do you want us to add anything?
- Can make doing a response easier for you, feel free to cut and paste the text
