National Horticultural Research Network Implementing the future Framework September 2010 ___________________________________________________________________ identify R&D programs that will bring the greatest rewards and to develop a business case that demonstrates the benefits and costs arising from an increase in R&D investment in this field for Australian horticultural industries. 6.3 Communication and stakeholder engagement The key stakeholders related to this Framework are • Australian horticultural industries • PISC agencies • University sector • HAL HAL, the PISC agencies and the university sector have each played a major role in development of this Framework and have been briefed on its contents. The consultation process with industries related to this draft Framework is as follows; • Brief HAL‟s Industry Services staff on the plan and associated issues • Distribution of the draft plan to each industry PIB and IAC for consultation • Direct contact (telephone) with each industry providing clarification on any issues and seeking overall reaction to the document • Industry consultation. Based on the responses obtained in the phone calls determine if presentation of the draft framework and discussion with industries or aligned groups of industries are required. • Presentation of the Framework to the HAL Industries Forum in mid November 2009. • Opportunity for industries to meet with the NHRN in the day(s) following the Forum to discuss further issues. • Revision of the plan taking into account the issues raised. Concurrent consultation with the HAL Board and executives of the PISC agencies (or appropriate Boards) to seek their endorsement will be followed by presentation to the PISC RD&E Subcommittee, PISC and PIMC early in 2010. 6.4 Arrangements needed for implementation of this Framework The draft Framework has been developed jointly by NHRN agencies in consultation with HAL and horticulture PIBs. During this process, Agencies have nominated to the role each will take in the delivery of RD&E for horticulture industries in Australia. In endorsement of the plan, these Agencies will confirm their commitments to the Framework. After the consultation process and once endorsed by PIBs, the Framework can move to full national implementation. Given that the NHRN is an existing entity and will be central to driving the Framework, no additional resources are required to implement the Framework. 6.5. Implementation of the Framework - Implications for Industries An integral part of the industry consultation related to the Framework will be to discuss its implications for the industries involved. The main implications for industry relate to: • Acknowledgement of the Major Agency identified for the industry and agreement to the Major Agency taking on the roles described above. This includes developing mechanisms by which Major Agencies will interact with PIBs in strategic planning processes • Acknowledgement of Support and Link agencies for the industry and their roles as identified in this Framework 84 | P a g e
National Horticultural Research Network Implementing the future Framework September 2010 ___________________________________________________________________ • Recognition of the medium to long-term changes in RD&E delivery that will evolve from this Framework. The most significant impact will come from changes related to the Major Agency leading a national team of RD&E providers for the industry. There may also be impacts on regional outcome delivery • The RD&E future directions identified in the Framework Discussions of these factors may lead to some agreed amendments to this Framework, but after this consultation process it is expected that the Major Agency will be empowered, by industry, HAL and NHRN member agencies, to facilitate and coordination of RD&E for that industry nationally and to work with the industry on planning and implementation of national RD&E activities. This empowered, collaborative relationship between the Major Agency, NHRN, the industry peak body and HAL will be particularly valuable for the efficient and effective management of industry emergencies such as exotic pest and disease incursions. 6.6 Agency Contacts by crop Section 7.5 of Appendix 1 below, lists agency contacts for the Major Priority, Support and Link agencies for most horticultural crops. 85 | P a g e
