Senator the Honourable Richard Colbeck
Dear Senator Colbeck
This Plan has been drawn up with due reference to the overall RIRDC Five Year Plan 2003-2008 which was approved in September 2003 and also addresses the government’s national and rural research priorities and industry developments. The key R&D features of the Annual Operational Plan 2005–2006 for each sub-program are summarised on pages * to *. In accordance with legislative requirements, each of these seeks to link the industry outcomes with the strategies for achieving these outcomes and the principal outputs. The budget underpinning the Plan is here. Details on the individual industry sub-accounts are in Appendix II beginning here. Yours sincerely Ms Mary Boydell

RIRDC Sub-Accounts, 2000–01 to 2004–05
The following Statement
of Revenues and Expenditure are accounted for separately because there
is a significant external input of funds other than the $12.09 million
appropriated to RIRDC core operations. These external funds either come
from industry statutory levies, voluntary industry contributions or from
other funding agencies.
