2NSW Aquaculture Research Advisory Committee (ARAC) ARAC was established in October 2006.ARAC is a statutory committee that advises the NSW Minister on the amount of contributions payable by the NSW aquaculture sectorsinto trust accounts for aquaculture research, development and extension (RD&E) and the expenditure of those trust funds.ARAC shares the NSW DPI vision:‘Innovative primary industries in strong regional communities’About this Plan This plan provides guidance for the development and implementation of RD&E in support of the NSW aquaculture industry.This RD&E plan was developed at an ARAC workshop on the 3rd May 2017 taking into account:–advice from aquaculture permit holders and other stakeholders, NSW DPI staff and Mr Peter Dundas-Smith AM;–the need for evidence based aquaculture policy development in NSW;–NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) Corporate Plan;–Fisheries Research Strategic Plan 2014-2018;–National RD&E Strategy for Fishing and Aquaculture 2015-20;–Fisheries Research and Development Corporation RD&E Plan 2015-20;–other relevant plans or RD&E reviews; and–completed, current and planned RD&E and related activitiesAt the workshop a number of topics were raised that did not require the creation of new knowledge, processes or technology butrather the extension of same to end-users. These topics have been included under the Adoption program.Highlighted in the plan are the RD&E priorities for each aquaculture sector.The plan will be used collaboratively by industry sectors and enterprises, research organisations, relevant government agencies andothers working in support of the aquaculture industry.The plan recognises the competitive advantages held by NSW.The ARAC will review the plan each year (latest revision May 2017).Copies of this plan are available from NSW DPI, Port Stephens Fisheries Institute, : 02 4916 3901, email: jo.pickles@dpi.nsw.gov.auor the website www.dpi.nsw.gov.au.During the consultative and development processes a number of priorities were identified that were not RD&E by nature, but ratherrelated to activities that would nevertheless enhance the resilience and performance of the aquaculture industry, and importantly,better enable it to participate in the planning and execution of RD&E and the adoption of results. These ‘enabling’ priorities have,therefore, been included in this plan.NSW Aquaculture Research Advisory Committee, RD&E Strategic Plan 2017-2022
3Plan frameworkThe framework is based on the ‘input – output - outcome’ model of investment. In this context: Inputs are the resources – in the form of people, expertise, materials, energy, facilities and funds – that research organisations andtheir partners use in activities to produce outputs. Outputs are the goods and services – mainly knowledge, processes and technology – that research organisations and their partnersproduce for end-users. Outcomes are the results, impacts or consequences flowing from the adoption of outputs by end-uses.RD&E investment performanceThe ability to measure RD&E investment performance depends on the quantity and quality of available data. Further, it depends on the natureof the activity. For example, the performance of an activity with a strong public good component would be more difficult to measure (usuallyqualitative) than one with a strong private benefit component (usually quantitative). The key performance indicators (KPI) described beloware a guide only to how performance could be measured. Ideally, such indicators with targets should be detailed in individual projects.As indicted in the program framework below, the balance between the public good and private benefit components of RD&E varies betweenprograms and priorities. As a general rule public good RD&E attracts a higher government investment than private benefit. Therefore, forRD&E with strong private benefit components to attract government investment, there needs to be evidence of market, institutional,technical, policy or political failure.NSW competitive advantagesNSW is well placed to further develop an aquaculture industry that is domestically and internationally competitive. Its competitive advantages are: a subtropical-temperate climate that enables the selection from a wide range of species those that can compete in the marketplace; world class research capabilities including those that can be drawn from other states and territories and from overseas; Australia’s highest seafood consumption that enables near-to-market production; coastal infrastructure to support aquaculture; a Government policy platform that supports the sustainable development of aquaculture; and the foremost Australian state for seafood sales and transport infrastructure.NSW Aquaculture Research Advisory Committee, RD&E Strategic Plan 2017-2022
