Information on the structural review of GRDC – UPDATED

The grains industry has commissioned an independent review to seek to ensure GRDC has a structure that will deliver robust, accountable and commercial research development and extension (R, D and E) outcomes to levy payers for years to come. 

The review is being undertaken by independent consultant Marsden Jacob Associates with particular examination of:

  • the strengths and weaknesses of other RDC structures and other non RDC organisations
  • whether potential changes to the PIERD and CAC Acts, or structural change, including but not limited to an industry owned company, are necessary to address weaknesses  
  • whether alternate models have the potential to improve the R, D and E outcomes and profitability of the Grains industry
  • costs associated with change, both transactional and operating impact. 

Marsden Jacob Associates have released an issues paper and are seeking grower feedback by 9 May, 2014 (extended), before they begin work on a draft report, at which point they will seek further grower feedback.  For more information visit:   http://www.marsdenjacob.com.au/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=267
