Executive Summary
The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Association welcomes the invitation to comment on the discussion paper informing the development of the Control Tool and Technology Development Grants Programme.
The CRC Association respectfully submits that the grants programme as described in the discussion paper is unlikely to deliver a significant impact on established pests and weeds in Australia. We submit that a much more strategic approach encouraging a significant research cluster(s) would be far more likely to deliver the significant impact desired by the Government, farmers and Australian tax payers.
